Whenever an "accident" results in death, it leaves in its wake grief-stricken families asking why. Why did this happen? Could it have been avoided? Was someone at fault? What will happen now?
The attorneys at Weatherford Thompson understand the difficulties families face during the critical time after a loved one has died. Not only must they deal with grief, uncertainty and anger, but they often face medical and burial expenses, mounting bills and daily living challenges as they try to pick up the pieces.
Although a fatality can result from many negligent acts, the following are some causes for claims that our firm handles:

• Automobile Accidents
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
• Medical Treatment
• Defective Products

A wrongful death lawsuit can never compensate for the loss of your loved one, but it can assist with the expenses you face now and the loss of income you and your family will face in the future. It also acknowledges pain and suffering and loss of companionship and parental guidance. The attorneys at Weatherford Thompson work aggressively to get compensation for surviving beneficiaries, including:

• Medical expenses prior to death
• Pain and suffering of the deceased prior to death
• Pain and suffering of the beneficiary
• Loss of companionship
• Mental anguish
• Funeral expenses
• Loss of anticipated wages

Do Not Delay in Bringing Your Wrongful Death Claim You have a limited time in which to bring a wrongful death claim. If you suspect that you may have a claim — even if you do not know for sure — it is wise to talk with an attorney to understand your rights.
