Wrongful Death
When someone is killed in an accident, the grief can be unbearable. But when the death was caused by someone's negligence, other emotions like anger, confusion and hopelessness can also emerge. Anger that someone's carelessness or recklessness has caused such pain and loss. Confusion over how and why the accident happened. Often, families do not know what happened and they want and need to know these facts to help obtain closure. Hopelessness over how to move forward with their lives. In addition to the heart-wrenching emotional losses that come with losing a family member, there are often other issues such as how the family will survive economically, etc. At The Law Offices of John Day, P.C. our attorneys and staff understand all of these emotions and we can help you successfully navigate through them and the legal process.
