Virtually anyone may be the victim of an accidental death. As an experienced accident and injury lawyer, Rene H. Pimentel has represented the families of numerous people who have lost their lives due to the negligent or wrongful conduct of another person. He understands that the untimely death of a loved one is one of the hardest ordeals for a family to overcome. Losing a child, parent, sibling, spouse, family member or significant other may result from the negligent acts or inattentive misconduct of the responsible party.
The laws governing how to file for wrongful death are very specific. For example, only the victim's spouse, domestic partner, children and issue of deceased children or the decedent's putative spouse, that person's children, stepchildren and parents, but only if they were dependent on the victim at the time of death, may file a wrongful death suit. Also, if there were minors who resided in the victim's household for more than 180 days preceding his or her death and who were dependent on the victim for one-half or more of their support, he/she may file for wrongful death. An experienced wrongful death attorney can navigate the legal system with the ultimate goal of your complete satisfaction with your case.
No amount of compensation could possibly make up for the loss of a loved one: a spouse, a child or a parent. It can, however, alleviate stress and worry by recovering many losses and expenses such as:
Medical and hospital expenses
Funeral and burial expenses
Current and future financial losses suffered by the family
The family’s loss of love, companionship, comfort, affection, society solace or moral support
