Wrongful Death

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.
