Los Angeles Wrongful Death Lawyer
Encino Fatal Accident Attorney
After a fatal accident has claimed the life of someone you love, protecting any legal rights you may have to recover compensation is probably not your first priority. Right now, life is about getting through one moment and then the next, about beginning the process of coming to terms with what has happened.
At the same time, it may be necessary for you to at least talk to a lawyer about your legal rights and options — someone who can protect those rights so that you can focus your attention on what's really most important to you.
Since 1989, attorneys at the Law Office of Renee J. Nordstrand have fought to obtain maximum compensation for the families of motor vehicle accident victims in Southern California. Today, we encourage you to contact us for a free consultation and, if you like, to let our experienced lawyers fight for you and your family.
Losing a loved one is not something any amount of money can "fix." We know that the deeper cost — the human cost of a wrongful death and its effect on a family are much more difficult to measure. However, we do use our resources to ensure that those losses are compensated as fairly and as fully as possible in every case.
We handle lawsuits involving:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Drunk driving accidents
- Bus accidents
- Dangerous roadways
Generally, damages in these fatal accident cases can include compensation for medical expenses, funeral costs, property damage and losses of expected income, companionship, support, parental guidance and others, as well as for pain, suffering and grief. Punitive damages may also be awarded in some cases.
When we try a fatal accident case we have expert economists calculate the financial impact of the death on the family. They estimate the value of a spouse's lost earnings as well as non-economic contribution to the home. Similarly, when a surviving family member needs to hire someone to help with child care, grocery shopping, and other daily chores, they are also entitled to compensation for the cost of these services.
