Wrongful Death
Representing families seeking justice and accountability after losing a loved one to another's wrongful conduct.
When a person is killed because of another person's or company's wrongful conduct, their heirs and beneficiaries may be entitled to bring a wrongful death action against those responsible. Kansas and Missouri each define by statute who may bring such a claim — typically a surviving spouse, children, or next of kin.
Damages in a wrongful death case can include economic losses, such as medical and funeral expenses and the financial support the family would have received, as well as non-economic damages for the decedent's pain and suffering and the family's own loss and grief. No verdict can undo a loss like this, but holding the responsible party accountable can bring both a measure of justice and the financial security a family needs to move forward.
