Wrongful Death Legal Settlements
The civil justice system can play a role in a family's healing process following a wrongful death. While there is no amount of money that can compensate a family for the loss of a loved one, a financial settlement can help bring closure so the family can deal with their grieving process and attempt to move on. It can also provide a reasonable amount of money for the family to do something that perpetuates the memory of their family member. At the law firm of Shelsby & Leoni in Wilmington, Delaware, our lawyers represent family members of wrongful death victims in Delaware, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. Our lawyers recently represented the family of a teenager who died as a passenger in a car accident due to the driver's negligence. We settled the case for a significant amount of money, which provided the family with compensation and assisted in the healing process. The family used a settlement to establish a college fund for their other children and also to set up a fund in memory of their son. The civil justice system can also hold wrongdoers accountable. In one case involving a fatal truck accident, our lawyers learned through discovery that a drug test of the driver of the truck showed traces of cocaine in his system following the accident. In this case, we obtained a settlement of almost $5 million for the family. The facts of each case are different, but we will work with you to obtain justice for your losses. Our lawyers have handled wrongful death cases involving many different kinds of negligence, including:
