Common Causes of Wrongful Death

Wrongful death occurs when someone’s carelessness or wrongdoing leads to a tragic loss. At Stanley Law, we’re dedicated to guiding you through these difficult cases and ensuring your family receives the compensation you deserve. Our experience and commitment are here to help you find justice. Here are some common causes of wrongful death:

Let Us Manage Your Case While You Focus on Healing

Losing a loved one unexpectedly, especially when it could have been prevented, is incredibly difficult. At Stanley Law, we understand how overwhelming this time can be. Our goal is to handle the legal matters so you can focus on grieving and remembering your loved one.

Navigating a wrongful death claim involves complicated legal steps and extensive paperwork. You shouldn’t have to deal with these burdens while you’re mourning. Our dedicated team will take care of everything, allowing you the time and support you need to be with your family and begin to heal.

Establishing Liability in a Wrongful Death Case

To win a wrongful death case, you need to prove that someone’s negligence led to your loved one’s death. This means showing that the person being sued had a duty to act responsibly, failed to do so, and that this failure caused the death.

For example, if your loved one died in a car accident caused by a drunk driver, you would need to prove that the driver had a duty to drive safely and responsibly. By driving under the influence, the driver breached that duty, leading to the fatal accident. In this situation, you could seek compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit.

Proving responsibility requires a detailed investigation. In the case of a car accident, your lawyer would gather evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and accident reconstruction. For other causes, like dangerous property conditions, your lawyer would investigate the maintenance and safety measures in place. With experienced legal support, every detail is thoroughly examined, ensuring your case is strong and effectively presented.

Dealing with Insurance Companies

In New York and Pennsylvania, most wrongful death cases are settled before reaching the courtroom. Insurance companies usually prefer to settle but often start with low offers, hoping for a quick agreement. To make sure you receive a fair settlement, it’s important to know your rights and what you’re entitled to.

At Stanley Law, we specialize in negotiating with insurance companies. Our skilled team knows how to advocate for you and secure a fair settlement. We’ve successfully negotiated many agreements that ensure families across New York and Pennsylvania receive the compensation they deserve. With our experience, you can trust that we’re dedicated to getting the best result for your case.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stanley Law has handled my slip and fall case. It came to a close this week. I was always able to get my questions answered. I had many during the process. I often reached out to attorney Tim Welch, he always responded promptly. Connor ( Para Legal) was added to the case a while ago. He has also done an excellent job. Whenever I reached out I got answers from Connor. I was treated very well throughout this case. I would never hesitate to use this team of professionals again, if the need arises? Greatly appreciate all of your efforts! Thank you..

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shannon and Amanda are FANTASTIC to work with!! I have been battling with SSA for a LONG time and these two ladies made it much less stressful for me. Both are QUICK to respond to emails, texts and callbacks. Shannon explained EVERYTHING from the filing process, to the appeals process and everything in-between in LAYMAN'S TERMS. If ever a disability attorney will be needed again for either family or friends, Shannon and Amanda will be the FIRST and ONLY recommendation from me!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I want to thank Shannon Doan, her team, and the Stanley Law Offices for the work they did on my son's disability case.  Not having to deal with all the paperwork required by Social Security was a welcomed relief as we navigated all the changes in our lives.  From the first meeting where Shannon explained the process and the possible outcomes, we felt we were in good hands.  Throughout the waiting, Shannon made contact every few weeks to see if we had any questions or new information that could strengthen his case.  After an initial denial, my son was awarded disability thanks to the work that Shannon and the Stanley Law office did on his behalf.  Thanks again!
