Loss of a Loved One

After the wrongful death of a family member, the surviving family members are left with many emotions and questions.    

• What am I going to do now?
• This is not our fault, where do we go from here?
• How am I going to care for my family?
• How am I going to grieve when I am angry?

It is important to consult with an attorney that has experience with wrongful death cases.  Here at the Chestnut Firm we will advise you of your rights and navigate you through the legal process, while being sensitive to you and your family’s grieving process.   

The Chestnut Firm understands that accidents and sudden deaths can put you and your family into a state of shock.  That is why is it crucial that you take the right steps in reserving your legal rights and not allow any insurance company or anyone not acting in your best interest to take advantage of you or your family during this time. 

What type of cases could be considered wrongful death?

• Medical Malpractice or Medical Error resulting in a fatality
• Truck accidents, including semi-trucks resulting in a fatality
• Car or automobile accidents resulting in a fatality
• Defective products resulting in a fatality (example: a defective automobile or truck tire)

These are just a few of the types of cases that are considered wrongful death, but are in no means an exhaustive list.  Wrongful Death is defined as a case where the victim’s death is the result of the negligence of the person or company being sued.
