The Greatest Loss

Fatal accidents often are not accidents at all, but the result of negligence. At Greene Broillet & Wheeler, LLP, our attorneys identify those responsible for causing fatal accidents and hold them legally responsible for the damages they caused. We file wrongful death lawsuits on behalf of surviving family members.

What is Wrongful Death?

A wrongful death is one that didn't have to happen, but was the result of the negligence, carelessness or recklessness by another person or organization.

  • When auto makers, tire manufacturers or pharmaceutical companies put profits over people, they put the lives of consumers at risk.
  • When an individual chooses to drink and drive and then causes a fatal accident, the decedent's survivors can bring a wrongful death lawsuit against the driver.
  • When design, manufacturing or marketing flaws in a product cause loss of life, a wrongful death lawsuit can compensate survivors for damages.

Billions of Dollars in Compensation for Fatal Accidents

The attorneys of Greene Broillet & Wheeler, LLP, have been representing families of wrongful death victims for decades. Over the years, we have obtained billions of dollars in compensation for our clients. We have also helped protect others from deadly safety hazards, from vehicles that roll over and tires that fall apart to dangerous conditions on public property.

Our clients often pursue wrongful death lawsuits in order to send a message to those who caused their loved one's injury and to prevent others from suffering a similar fate. If you are seeking a law firm that has a history of making a difference and enhancing public safety through the use of the law, please contact the lawyers of Greene Broillet & Wheeler, LLP. We represent clients in the Los Angeles area and throughout Southern California and the entire state. We also consult with attorneys and clients nationwide.

Impact to Change

Much of our firm's work involves taking on large corporations, insurance companies and government agencies. By and large, these entities oppose change and will expend seemingly unlimited resources to preserve the status quo. At GB&W, we relish taking on this level of opposition. Through our many years of practice, our personal injury lawyers and staff have achieved unparalleled success in trial and other forums against these opponents. Taking on these companies serves a dual purpose. First, our efforts help our clients recover the compensation they need to move forward after a life-changing injury. Secondly, our work makes communities safer places to live. In this way, everyone can benefit from our work.
