What is a wrongful death claim? It is a claim that arises when a loved one dies due to the negligent care or conduct of another. Wrongful death cases are far more complex and require an advanced level of expertise to handle properly. At Reed Law Offices PC, LLC, we have handled countless wrongful death claims arising from nursing home abuse, nursing home neglect, motor vehicle negligence and trucking negligence. We have the level of experience and expertise to handle these complex cases.

What is a family entitled to in wrongful death case? Although every state is different, in the State of Nebraska, wrongful death beneficiaries (which include a surviving spouse and/or surviving children) are entitled to compensation for the monetary value of the services, comfort, and companionship that their loved one would have contributed to them had the loved one lived. The family is also entitled to the monetary value of any financial support, services, comfort or companionship that the loved one gave to his or her family prior to death. 

Why pursue a wrongful death claim? While it is true that nothing can bring back a loved one and no amount of money can fully compensate a family for the untimely loss of a loved one, holding a negligent corporation, such as a nursing home, accountable for their actions, helps to make that nursing home a better place for everyone. It also helps to ensure that such terrible neglect or carelessness does not happen again. 

At Reed Law Offices PC, LLC, we are not your typical law firm. We believe wrongful death cases need to be handled as delicately as possible. We often meet with family members who are suffering from devastating grief. They deserve to have a legal team on their side, who is willing to put in as much time as it takes to get the facts of the case. For us, it is an honor and a privilege to represent the family in a wrongful death case and we provide a listening and caring ear throughout the entire process.

If you have found yourself in this type of situation, getting help is the first step to picking up the pieces. Many states only allow the families of victims one year to institute a claim for wrongful death, so time is of the essence.
