Our South Gastonia Lawyers Know How North Carolina Defines Wrongful Death
According to G.S. § 28A-18-2, the death of a loved one caused by negligence qualifies as wrongful death. To establish your right to compensation, we will aim to prove the following elements:
- A loved one succumbed to a negligence-based accident
- The accident would not have happened without the at-fault party’s actions
- Had they survived, the decedent would have had a valid personal injury claim
Our wrongful death accident legal team includes:
- South Gastonia car accident lawyers
- South Gastonia truck accident lawyers
- South Gastonia motorcycle accident lawyers
- South Gastonia pedestrian accident lawyers
- South Gastonia bicycle accident lawyers
- South Gastonia bus accident lawyers
- South Gastonia construction accident lawyers
This list is not exhaustive. Our South Gastonia personal injury attorneys will represent your family after the loss of a loved one in any negligence-based accident. One of our team members will review your claim at no cost and describe your next steps toward financial recovery.
We will Build a Strong Evidence Collection to Support Your Wrongful Death Case
Your insurance claim or lawsuit will require proof of negligence. Our investigative team will collect evidence such as:
- Official reports related to your loved one’s accident (police, fire, medical, etc.)
- Witness statements from accident eyewitnesses and relevant experts
- Security, surveillance, smartphone, and other pictures and video footage
- Medical records and bills that describe the decedent’s injuries and their cause
Our South Gastonia wrongful death lawyers will also collect evidence that might be emotionally triggering or hard to access on your own. Leave the hard work to us. Contact our case consultation team at Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC to learn more.
Wrongful Death Damages Our South Gastonia Attorneys will Pursue for Your Family
The loss of a loved one can have a significant financial impact on your family. With our guidance and support, we help you seek the following wrongful death damages:
- Final expenses: Costs associated with their funeral, burial, or cremation, including coffin, urn, undertaker services, etc.
- Specified losses: Loss of the decedent’s financial input and household support, as well as loss of consortium, companionship, comfort, and care.
- Survival action damages: The decedent’s medical expenses; property damage; loss of income, benefits, and inheritance; and other damages they would have recovered had they survived to file a personal injury claim.
Our legal team will do more than assess your recoverable damages. Our personal injury law firm will gather receipts, estimates, and other documents that support the monetary value of your compensation request. We will also submit these documents, along with a settlement request letter, to the at-fault party and their insurance company on your behalf.
You have a Limited Window of Opportunity to File Your Family’s Lawsuit
In North Carolina, the decedent’s personal representative can file a wrongful death action on behalf of the decedent’s parents, spouse, children, and other heirs.
The representative generally has two years to file such action, per G.S. § 1-53. If the statute of limitations expires, you could inadvertently forfeit your right to file your wrongful death lawsuit. Our lawyers will not let this happen. With sufficient notice from you, we will file your lawsuit on time and in the appropriate venue.
