The grief and pain that follows the death of a loved one can be overwhelming. The pain is especially intense when the death was a result of an otherwise preventable fatal car accident, truck accident,  motorcycle accident or other type of accident. In these situations, the family often wants to know why this happened. What rules were broken? Who was responsible? Can this type of event be prevented in the future so someone else doesn’t have to suffer this grief.

The death of a loved one can often leave in its wake a myriad of medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income that the now deceased bread-winner can no longer provide. Of course, the real loss is the loss of companionship: wife to husband or husband to wife, and parent to child. This is something that the payment of money can never adequately fix or repair.

Representing You Against the Insurance Companies

In Utah wrongful death cases, there will usually be an insurance company that is responsible for representing the person who wrongfully caused the premature death of a family member. These insurance companies are often quick to propose a settlement before the family can fully understand the nature and magnitude of their loss. In bringing a wrongful death claim against the representing insurance company, you and your family may be entitled to receive:

-Funeral expenses

-Medical bills

-Lost wages (if applicable)

-Loss of future earnings

-Loss of companionship and support and counsel

Often, when the insurance company is unsuccessful in getting you to take a quick settlement, they will hire an experienced and aggressive attorney to reduce or possibly eliminate the amount they should fairly pay. It is essential that if you have lost a loved one that you too should have an experienced Utah wrongful death attorney to protect your interests and advocate for your rights.
