WRONGFUL DEATHWhen someone you love is killed in an accident, your life will never be the same. While nothing can bring back the one you lost, the person or company whose negligence caused the death should be held responsible. The only remedy civil law provides is to force the negligent person or company to financially compensate the surviving family member(s) for the loss they have suffered. A wrongful death can arise from a variety of circumstances, including car accidents, truck accidents, boating accidents, construction accidents, defective products, machinery or medical errors. When someone you love has been killed needlessly, our experienced litigation attorneys can help you deal with both the legal and financial ramifications of the death. The attorneys at the Law Offices of Thomas J. Popovich are prepared to protect your rights and aggressively pursue legal remedies to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation to which you are entitled under the law. We have helped many families in wrongful death actions, winning substantial awards to compensate for their loss.
