Wrongful Death in Auto Accident Cases

Monday, September 12th, 2011

 

Sometimes we get a call from a family member who’s loved one has died in a tragic auto accident.  If there was any conscious pain and suffering incurred before death, the decedent‘s estate has a claim for that pain and suffering, whereas the beneficiaries of the decedent, not his estate, has the claim for wrongful death.  There are really two separate and distinct causes of action.  It is very advisable to consult a wrongful death attorney before attempting to take any action on these kinds of matters.

Inmate in Columbia, SC Dies from Neck Injury

Monday, September 5th, 2011
“Inmate dies from neck injury.”

This looks like a promising case for a wrongful death attorney.  Any time the police take someone into custody, they owe a duty not to use unnecessary force and to be reasonable in their treatment.  This head lock that supposedly injured the neck and ultimately killed the prisoner could very well be unreasonable force.  I would highly recommend that this family get help from an injury attorney as soon as possible, so that the investigation could begin.

We personal injury lawyers hate it any time we read someone dies in an auto accident.  As car accident attorneys, many times we are hired by a family to pursue a wrongful death case.  In this accident, since it was a one-car accident, there wouldn’t be anything a wrongful death attorney could do, as there is no one to bring a claim against.  Unfortunately, this is just another in the tragic statistics on our nations’ roads.

Wrongful Death Attorney In Columbia SC – Beneficiary vs Personal Representative?

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010
As a personal injury lawyer in Columbia, SC, I am also, in effect, a wrongful death attorney in Columbia, SC, as well as a worker’s compensation attorney, etc. I see a lot of wrongful death cases and claims, and I can help you with some of the insight and experience I’ve gained. (This is one of the many reasons why you are wise to select an accident attorney with experience AND a focus in personal injury law. Here’s a specific fact about wrongful death law.

In a wrongful death case, sometimes the person entitled to bring the action on behalf of the estate is different than the beneficiary of the action.  The personal representative of the estate gets to hire the wrongful death attorney, while the person who gets the money might be someone completely different.  Since we are injury lawyers, we usually refer out to a probate attorney the issue of who gets to be in charge of the estate.I’m a

Wrongful Death Claim

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Regarding Wrongful Death Claims

When a person dies as a result of another’s negligence, a wrongful death attorney such as myself will often get a call from a family member.

The first thing we have to do before going forward is make sure we’re dealing with a person who is most likely going to be appointed personal representative of the estate of the deceased.

As a personal injury lawyer based in Columbia, SC, and serving SC and GA, I’ve seen the need for this, as an injury attorney can otherwise spend a great deal of time and resources on behalf of a case, and not end up even being able to handle it because he was dealing with the wrong person.

“Man dies in moped-car collision”

Another tragic claim for a wrongful death attorney to investigate and possibly pursue.  An injury lawyer such as myself would first want to look at the official accident report and see who the police cited with responsibility for the accident.  After that, we might want to talk to witnesses, and conduct a scene investigation.  At the end of our investig ation, we would h

ave a good idea if we would be able to make a wrongful death recovery on behalf of the family.

As a wrongful death attorney in Columbia, SC, I see a lot of cases like this one. My advice to the family of the deceased: Find a competent and experienced personal injury lawyer who is familiar with these types of cases as soon as possible, so the evidence can be assessed while it is ‘fresh’.
