Assigning Accountability
When you loose someone you love you may be wondering why. Unfortunately, those answers are not always easy to answer. Beyond personal liability, there are many reasons people don’t want to be forthcoming with information which only leaves families more devastated. Our wrongful death lawyers lead a team of specialists in these types of cases to help find you the answers you need.
From investigators to accident reconstruction and medical experts, they’ll work tirelessly to find out who can be held responsible for your loss.
Insurance Issues and What To Do After A Wrongful Death
If your loved one had the foresight to take out a life insurance policy, you are in a better position than most survivors. However, the lump-sum payment you receive from a life insurance plan does not account for medical bills, future lost income, or pain and suffering. Contacting a Gloucester Point wrongful death lawyer immediately is essential to begin an investigation.
In medical malpractice cases or lawsuits against the government, there are specific steps and timeframes you must abide by to bring your claim, so it’s best to work with a seasoned attorney as soon as possible. We’ll investigate, consult with qualified experts, seek a full and fair settlement, take your case to court if necessary, and ensure you get paid the money we recover on your behalf.
Why Do People File Wrongful Death Claims?
Speeding, tailgating, failure to yield right of way, drinking alcohol, or texting are common causes of fatal collisions. Most people file wrongful death lawsuits after a motor vehicle accident. Even though the other motorist may have been harmed, that does not absolve them of their responsibility.
Other reasons to sue following the death of a loved one include:
- Workplace accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Defective products
Wrongful death lawsuits are not a matter of greed. Instead, it is crucial that we hold people accountable for their actions to maintain societal order. In addition to the mental anguish suffered, your family has lost a source of income, household services, guidance, comfort, support, and future inheritance.
What Can Wrongful Death Lawsuits Pay For?
Filing a wrongful death lawsuit or survival action against the at-fault parties can cover your outstanding debts, freeing you to use the life insurance benefits for mortgage payments, car payments, child tuition, and other expenses that the decedent would have covered had they not died suddenly.
Our skilled Gloucester Point wrongful death lawyers have experience recovering compensation for:
- Grief, anguish, and emotional trauma
- Loss of companionship, income, services, care, protection, and assistance
- Medical expenses pursuant to the fatal injuries
- A reasonable amount for funeral and burial costs
- Punitive damages are designed to punish offenders and send a message
Spouses and children are the most common beneficiaries, but grandchildren, parents, siblings, and estate representatives may sometimes be eligible for recovery.

Workers Compensation
If you’ve been injured on the job, workers’ compensation insurance may entitle you to critical assistance like medical treatment, lost wages, and more. But insurance companies will put up an aggressive fight to resist paying you the compensation you need and deserve. Rutter Mills can help get you the money you deserve.
