Zealously Representing Clients In Wrongful Death
Grief is the last act of love we give to those we love; where there is deep grief, there is great love. At Solar Law attorney J. Michael Solar understands the grief resulting from the sudden loss of a loved one, so we respect those in mourning
A sudden death invariably triggers many emotional and legal responses. Under the best of circumstances, the prospect of ordering an autopsy, making funeral arrangements, initiating the probate of the estate, and filing death insurance claims is challenging.
In the case of wrongful death, those tasks are made more difficult by the need to suspend the mourning process long enough to protect the survivors’ interests: interview a lawyer, enter a contract, assist in conducting an urgent investigation, and immediately file a lawsuit to preserve evidence and obtain eyewitness testimony.
Advocating for Justice While Honoring the Grieving Process
Attorney J. Michael Solar understands that navigating the delicate balance between showing respect and compassion for a grieving family while also swiftly and assertively pursuing justice in the aftermath of wrongful death can indeed present a challenging dilemma. The mourning process is crucial for the family to cope with their loss, and it may seem insensitive or even crass to discuss legal matters such as lawsuits before the deceased is laid to rest. However, it is essential to recognize that while grieving is necessary, it should not come at the expense of seeking accountability and justice.
Survivors must act promptly and diligently to hire a lawyer to identify, preserve, and pursue evidence in a wrongful death case, especially considering that those responsible and their legal representatives will already be mobilizing to build a defense.
Attorney J. Michael Solar understands that striking a balance between respecting the grieving process and advocating for legal action is a complex task that requires sensitivity, empathy, and a clear focus on achieving justice for the deceased and their loved ones.
What is Our Case Worth?
Many clients want to know what a wrongful death claim is worth. Countless factual and legal factors are considered when a wrongful death occurs. Among the critical factors:
• Manner of death,
• Who was at fault,
• Physical pain and mental anguish of the deceased,
• Deceased’s age/life expectancy,
• Education, training, and experience of the deceased,
• Earning history/capacity,
• Marital status,
• Children,
• Wrongdoers’ insurance/assets
A knowledgeable, skilled, tough attorney must investigate, prosecute the claim, and recover the maximum compensation for the deceased’s survivors. While these are not small things, perhaps an equally difficult challenge is helping restore some semblance of normalcy to the survivors’ lives.
Attorney J. Michael Solar strives to address the liability issues associated with losing a loved one and recovering the resulting damages in full. It also assists in obtaining support resources for grieving spouses, parents, and siblings wherever requested
