Where Do You Turn When the Unthinkable Happens?
Losing a loved one due to another's negligence can turn a family's life upside down. While they are dealing with grief, they must also think about the future. Who will take care of the family? How will they pay the bills? In times like these, you need an attorney you can trust to look out for your best interests while you look after your family.
At Vickery, Riehl & Alter, we establish a relationship with each family we work with. We promise to listen to you and find out what your immediate and long-term needs are. We have handled hundreds of wrongful death cases during our careers and understand the importance of finding out exactly what your family requires during this difficult time. Please call our Columbus office at 614-602-4153 today.
Helping You Find Answers
Common fatal accidents are caused by truck and car crashes, electrocution and burn injuries. If you lost a family member as a result of these accidents, you probably want questions answered about how this could have happened. At Vickery, Riehl & Alter, we will investigate the wrongful death incident and seek justice for your loved one.
We will also help you address the economic element of wrongful death. For instance, you may need help paying for medical bills and funeral expenses. If you lost a wage-earning member of your family, you may have additional financial worries such as:
- Loss of income
- Mortgage payments
- Education or college expenses
- Monthly bills
- Childcare
Working with the executor or administrator of the deceased's estate, we will try to get any life insurance benefits started as soon as possible. We will also attempt to recover damages from the negligent party and determine if there are multiple sources of liability.
Your Choice of Attorney Matters
You may be contacted by many lawyers after a wrongful death occurs. It is important to choose an attorney carefully. You want someone you feel comfortable with and who knows how to effectively seek the compensation your family needs.
You should question your prospective attorney about his/her experience, knowledge, and reputation. At Vickery, Riehl & Alter, we devote 100% of our effort to the representation of injured victims, and never represent the insurance industry. Ask the attorney whether he fights aggressively for new laws to advance victims' rights, or is a member of a defense firm that actively lobbies for laws limiting damage recoveries.
