Wrongful Death
The sudden death of a loved one is devastating, and when that death is caused by the negligence or misconduct of another person, you need a place to turn for counsel and support.
The Elderkin Law Firm has the knowledge, resources and experience to obtain the compensation you need to move forward after a tragedy. If your loved one died because of an accident caused by negligence, you need the expertise of an experienced personal injury lawyer.
Wrongful Death and Survival Act lawsuits are brought on behalf of the survivors or the estate of the deceased. Calculating the cost of a death requires seasoned experts to determine the value of the deceased’s contribution to the family finances had he or she lived. The value of the non-economic contribution of the victim, including emotional support of the surviving spouse and children, household duties, and more, must also be determined.

- Motorcycle accidents.
- Car crashes.
- DUI accidents.
- Construction site accidents.
