Aurora Wrongful Death Attorney

We understand that you and your family are grieving. The last thing you need is to worry about legal issues or spend your time haggling with insurance agents. Our law firm is here to offer you compassionate, dedicated, and personalized legal services. We see it as a privilege to be your advocate. 

While you focus on healing after your loved one’s passing, our Aurora personal injury lawyers can handle every detail of your case from beginning to end. Our legal team will:

• Investigate your loved one’s accident: Our attorneys will investigate your loved one’s accident for evidence to prove a negligent party caused their fatal injury. We will collect evidence, which may include police reports, medical records, eyewitness and expert testimony, photographs, videos, and proof of current and future financial losses resulting from their death. 
• Manage insurance claims and personal injury lawsuits: If the at-fault party has a liability insurance policy that applies to your loved one’s accident, such as auto insurance, we will file your claim. We can also take action with a wrongful death lawsuit. We will handle insurance and legal paperwork, case-related meetings, phone calls, emails, deadlines, and “red tape.”
• Aggressively negotiate for maximum compensation: You have been through enough. We will not allow insurance companies to pressure you, use bad-faith tactics, or pay less than what they owe. We will aggressively negotiate for the maximum settlement possible. 
• Represent you at trial: We will not back down if going to court is what it takes to get full and fair compensation. We will prepare your case and represent you at trial if necessary.

Premises Liability 

We handle personal injury cases involving negligent and unsafe property conditions. Our Aurora premises liability attorneys can help if your loved one died from a slip and fall accident or fatal dog bite injury. 

Liability for your loved one’s death will rest with the negligent person who caused their injury. Depending on the circumstances of the case, this could be an at-fault driver, a driver’s employer, or a property owner. 

Our Aurora wrongful death lawyers establish liability by demonstrating the four elements of negligence. 

1. The liable party owed your loved one a duty of care: People have a legal obligation to act reasonably and safely. When behind the wheel, drivers owe a duty of care to others on the road. Property owners have a duty of care to keep their premises safe. 
2. The liable party breached their duty of care: A breach of duty occurs when someone acts in a way most others would not find safe or reasonable. Drivers breach the duty of care when they disobey traffic laws, make driving errors, or engage in dangerous behaviors like drinking and driving or speeding. Property owners breach the duty of care when they fail to take care of property hazards or warn those legally on the property about known dangers. 
3. The breach was the cause of your loved one’s accident and injury: Causation links the liable party’s actions to the accident and the resulting injury. For example, our wrongful death lawyers may show how a driver failed to stop at a red light, causing them to T-bone your loved one’s car, which led to their fatal injury. 
4. The accident and injury resulted in damages: Damages prove that a victim (and their family in a wrongful death case) suffered financial losses and pain and suffering due to the accident in question.
