Wrongful Death

WRONGFUL DEATH

No one wants to have to deal with the death of a loved one. However, if you find yourself in that situation and you believe it is due to the fault of someone else, such as a doctor, surgeon, drunk driver, employer, faulty equipment or some other reason, Sapien Law is here to help assist you to determine if you may have a case to pursue on behalf of your deceased loved one.

If you have suffered the tragedy of losing a loved one in an accident that was someone else’s fault, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the at-fault party. In a wrongful death lawsuit you can seek compensation for:



  • Your loved one’s pain and suffering
  • Medical treatment your loved one received before death
  • Funeral expenses
  • Your family’s loss of the loved one’s companionship, love, and guidance
  • Other losses that you have experienced because your loved one is no longer here


Wrongful death lawsuits may be brought against negligent individuals, companies, or organizations, depending on the circumstances of the case. Some examples of negligent parties include:


  • Doctors who make negligent mistakes 
  • Drivers who are drunk or speeding
  • Employers who don’t follow safety regulations
  • Companies that manufacture unsafe equipment


Wrongful death lawsuits are often complex and may require the use of experts to establish fault and damages. At Sapien Law, we work with top experts in many fields to help prove our clients’ cases.
