Massachusetts and New Hampshire Wrongful Death Lawyer

Nothing is perhaps more devastating to a family than the death of one of its members because of the negligence or wrongful conduct of another party. For the survivors, the loss is often compounded by a lack of justice for the victim. A wrongful death lawsuit gives family members a way to seek justice through our civil court system.

A wrongful death has a devastating effect on a family: both emotionally and financially. Families need to be compensated financially for wage loss and loss of companionship. Many of our clients also want to prove that the death was needless and was not the fault of their loved ones. Almost all of our clients want to do whatever they can to make sure other families do not have to go through what they have gone through.

Sometimes our wrongful death lawyers make a difference not only in the lives of our clients but for society as a whole. We represented the father of an Essex County man who hung himself in his jail cell after he had been arrested for intoxication. This case was controversial because of the nature of the death. However, it brought to light the fact that a significant number of people are at risk for suicide immediately after arrest. Our wrongful death lawyers obtained a finding of negligence and gross negligence against the city of Lawrence, Massachusetts, for its role in the death. The case prompted significant publicity and soon thereafter a law was enacted to mandate safeguards to prevent suicide in jails.

Our attorneys are compassionate and understanding. We will take the time to talk with you about your family member and what your family member meant to you so we can better represent your family in court. We prepare each wrongful case as if it were going to trial. Only by being prepared to litigate cases in court can we obtain the compensation you deserve.

In addition to representing you in your wrongful death lawsuit, our lawyers will handle life insurance claims, employer benefits, and other insurance issues. Our lawyers will attend to the legal and insurance aspects of your case, giving you the peace of mind you need to concentrate on your family and obtaining closure.
