If you lose a family member due to someone else’s negligent or intentional act, it’s wise to seek counsel from a lawyer to protect your interests and those of your loved one’s estate. Wrongful death lawyers offer advice and representation to survivors facing such situations. Here are a few points to keep in mind when hiring a lawyer after experiencing this type of loss.  

What You Want in a Wrongful Death Lawyer

1. Experience

Look for an attorney who has experience in the particular type of circumstances involved. Whether your loved one’s passing resulted from a tractor-trailer crash or a medical error, the lawyer you hire should have a record of successful outcomes in settlements and trials involving your type of case.    

2. Availability

lawyerA wrongful death attorney might have many years of experience in the subject matter, but you need to ask whether the lawyer has time and interest in handling your case. If so, inquire how often you will communicate, the method of those communications, and whether other attorneys or legal staff will be working with you. 

3. Positive Recommendations & Online Reviews

A personal injury attorney who handles wrongful death cases frequently should be able to provide you with strong client references or recommendations. Online reviews are another independent source of information for attorney reputation and experience, but keep in mind that every case is different. The lawyer should have a reputation and record of honesty, reliability, professionalism, strong advocacy, and effective lawyer-client communication.
