The Cochran Firm Legal Blog

Wrongful death is a legal term that is used to describe a death that has occurred due to the negligence or intentional actions of an individual and, in addition, the wrongful death entitles the deceased's survivors and beneficiaries financial compensation for their loss.

No one is ever prepared for the sudden death of a loved one and nothing can come close to replacing that loss. When the loss is compounded by the knowledge that the death was caused by negligence, or wrongful or intentional actions of another, family members have the legal right to seek just financial compensation and should not hesitate to do so.

The circumstances of the tragic death may vary and can be the result of a car or truck accident, a workplace injury, medical malpractice or the use of a defective or dangerous product. Pursuing a wrongful death claim through the justice system is a complicated process, but the assurance that negligent behavior or intentional acts will be punished is well worth the effort.

The Cochran Firm can guide you through this emotional, stressful time with their knowledge and expertise in the field of wrongful death law. Financial compensation may include payment for medical, funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support for the survivors, the loss of future earning potential of the deceased, and payment for the pain and suffering caused by the loss of a loved one.
