Wrongful Death

Best Wrongful Death Attorneys | Neosho MO | Paul Law Firm

Stop, if you are talking with a business or person – especially an insurance company – responsible for the death of your family member. The insurance company is a business, and it is the insurance adjuster’s job to pay you as little as possible, not to be fair.

If you have lost a family member because of wrongdoing, you probably have a lot of questions. We call a lawsuit like this a claim for “wrongful death.” In Missouri, claims for wrongful death are controlled by statute. The wrongful death statute establishes classes of survivors and defines damages. In order to bring a claim for wrongful death, you must be a member of an eligible class of survivors. Class 1 survivors include parents, spouses, and children.

If you have lost a loved one, you know that you have experienced more than a financial loss, such as medical bills, funeral expenses, and income. You have experienced a personal, emotional loss. The law says that you deserve to be compensated for your loss of comfort, companionship, guidance, and support. In other words, experiences like Christmas, graduations, and fishing trips.
