A wrongful death is a death that has occurred due to the negligence, recklessness or wrongful actions of another individual. A wrongful death may happen as a result of medical malpractice, a work-related injury, a defective product, an accident or be the result of an intentional act of violence. When negligence, recklessness or willful acts cause the death of a loved one, the loss is even harder to accept. In addition to the overwhelming feelings of pain, grief and loss, family members must cope with a future without their loved one.

In the case of a wrongful death, the survivors may be able to recover damages for hospital and medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, reimbursement for lost future financial support and compensation for the loss of companionship, love and moral support of the deceased.

The compassionate wrongful death attorneys at The Cochran Firm are experienced and dedicated and also understand the scope of the loss of a family member and what it takes to secure the futures of those left behind. While your loss can never be fully compensated, our goal is to hold those responsible for your loss accountable and provide fair and just compensation for the survivors.
