Grief is itself a medicine. ~William Cowper, Charity The last thing you want to think about when you lose a loved one due to the negligence of another is a law suit. Unfortunately, the insurer for the negligent party that caused the accident is going to begin their investigation immediately and do whatever they can to minimize your recovery. Our attorneys understand that the lawsuit is not going to bring your loved one back or reduce the sadness of the tragedy. The lawsuit is merely a means to ensure that the survivors of the tragedy recover financially for what they have lost when someone negligently causes the death of their loved one....so they don't lose their home, their future security, everything...so they can put their lives back together. We build the case so you don't have to worry about one more thing. The initial consultation in a wrongful death matterIf your world is turned upside down with the untimely loss of someone you love, we are here to help. While you will never be over the grief entirely, by the time you have managed to deal with the grief, important evidence may be lost. Because it is important to evaluate the issues surrounding your case immediately, it is important that you contact an attorney to at least discuss the first things that need to be done to protect your family and your case. Wrongful death cases can be brought on behalf of the person who was killed by his or her sons, daughters, spouse, parents or possibly other family members. I still miss those I loved who are no longer with me Experienced Wrongful Death Trial Attorneys These cases are extremely important and while a lot of attorneys may accept these cases, you want to be sure that you hire an attorney who will take the case to trial if the other party does not accept responsibility or respond to the loss with a fair offer of settlement. Many times the other party will make a low-ball offer to settle the case if they disagree about liability or undervalue your damages or if they do not believe that your attorney will take them to trial. These important cases involve a lot of pressure to settle for less than the case is worth. You do not want to find out during trial that your attorney is not experienced. If you are concerned about whether the attorney that will be handling your case can handle a wrongful death trial, you do not need to look any further than the Law Offices of N. Trey Pettlon. Trey has tried multiple wrongful death cases to juries and won substantial verdicts for the survivors. In Clay County, Trey won the largest verdict for the year in a case involving the tragic death of a young child. Recent victories include a July 2007 plaintiffs' verdict in a Jackson County case involving the untimely death of a young father. The Defendant did not admit doing anything wrong and offered merely $65,000 to settle the case in the weeks preceeding trial, but on Friday night just a few weeks ago, the jury came back with a Plaintiffs' verdict for $965,000. It is only because of these and other trials Trey has won that he has been able to settle numerous other cases for amounts much higher than what the other party initially offered...amounts that were fair for his clients, the survivors.
