Losing a Loved One During the Holidays: Why You Need to Speak to a Lawyer

When you lose a loved one unexpectedly, it will be difficult. However, if that loss occurs during the holidays, it can be even more painful. Whether it was a car accident, unsafe conditions at their workplace, or medical malpractice from a doctor in whom your loved one put their trust, these situations demand you hold those responsible for your loved one’s death accountable for their actions. To do so, you may file a wrongful death lawsuit. By doing so, you can gain compensation for a variety of damages, allowing you and your family to move forward with your lives.

Gaining Compensation
Along with gaining compensation for medical bills, funeral expenses, and other related damages, wrongful death lawyers in Columbus OH from the Flickinger Legal Group can work with you to gain compensation regarding your loved one’s income. Along with current income that was lost, you may also be able to gain compensation for future income your loved one would have earned. In doing so, you and your family will be able to maintain a reasonable standard of living.

Negotiating with Insurance Companies
If you think insurance companies will have sympathy for you and your family upon the passing of your loved one, think again. No matter the circumstances, the insurance company will likely do everything possible to keep from paying out any claims you submit. Many times, the insurer will claim your loved one was at fault for the accident that led to their death, hoping this will keep them from paying out the compensation you and your family need and deserve. Rather than try to take on the insurance company alone, hire wrongful death lawyers in Columbus OH who know how to negotiate with these companies.

Rather than let a difficult situation get even worse for you and your family, schedule an immediate consultation with the Flickinger Legal Group.
