Proving Responsibility in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

To win a wrongful death lawsuit, you must show that someone’s negligence led to your loved one’s death. This means proving that the person being sued had a duty to act responsibly, failed to do so, and that their failure caused the death.

For example, if a loved one dies because of a defective product, like a faulty medical device, you need to prove that the manufacturer was responsible for ensuring the product’s safety. If the device malfunctioned due to design flaws or poor manufacturing, and this led to your loved one’s death, you could seek compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit.

Proving responsibility involves a detailed investigation. If a defective product is involved, your lawyer will examine the product’s design, manufacturing process, and safety records. For other causes, such as dangerous property conditions, your lawyer will look into the maintenance and safety measures in place. Having experienced legal assistance ensures that every detail is thoroughly investigated and your case is effectively presented.

Negotiating With Insurance Companies

Most wrongful death claims in New York and Pennsylvania are settled outside of the courtroom. Insurance companies generally prefer to settle rather than face a trial, but they often start with low offers, hoping you’ll accept a quick resolution. To ensure you receive a fair settlement, it’s essential to understand your options and what you’re entitled to.

At Stanley Law Offices, we excel at negotiating with insurance companies. Our experienced team knows how to advocate effectively to secure a just settlement. We’ve successfully negotiated numerous agreements that provide fair compensation for families across New York and Pennsylvania. With our expertise, you can trust that we’re committed to achieving the best possible outcome for your case.
