If you have lost someone you love due to an avoidable accident or someone else’s malicious actions (like a deadly assault or drunk driving), you have our deepest sympathies. We know that there is a sense of injustice and anger mixed with your grief and loss. Perhaps the person responsible for your loved one’s death may face criminal charges, but there’s a good chance that they may not, especially if your loved one passed away because of a contaminated or malfunctioning consumer product, medical malpractice, or because of the negligence of another entity (not a person). Even if a person was to blame for your loved one’s death, they still may not go to jail. What options do you have to see justice done? Our Waterloo, IA wrongful death lawyer can help you understand your options in civil court.

A wrongful death lawsuit may be your only chance for justice. Although no amount of money can bring your loved one back or heal your pain, the settlement you receive in a wrongful death lawsuit can help you rebuild your life and move forward. And, when you initiate legal action, the defendant’s actions become a matter of public record, showing the world what they did to your family member. The attorneys at Des Moines Injury Law are ready to help you get the justice you and your loved one deserve, fighting hard to demand that the at-fault party take accountability and compensate you.

Proving Liability In A Wrongful Death Lawsuit

There is a difference between a tragic accident and a wrongful death: negligence. Legally speaking, negligence refers to the obligation of one party (person or entity) to ensure the safety of another person. Failure to do so, through deliberate action or inaction, can mean that the party is legally liable for the harm they caused and owe the victim compensation.

We carefully investigate the incident and collect evidence proving that the other party abandoned their duty of care for your loved one, causing their death. The evidence we use includes witness testimony, safety records of a company, your loved one’s medical records, and physical evidence from the incident.

Then, we build a case against the at-fault party. If possible, we attempt to settle the case in negotiations, sparing you the steps of a trial. However, we’re fully prepared to take the case to court and anticipate each case we build being presented to a jury.
