Phoenix Wrongful Death Law Firm

Losing someone you love is difficult under almost any circumstance. There loss of a loved one is immeasurable and often painful. The emotional loss can take a heavy toll. Whether the loss was expected or not, it cannot change the fact that a family member or friend has died.

However, there are certain affects that can be magnified when the death of a loved one was caused by a negligent action of another person or business. The event is usually traumatic and unexpected. There is no time to plan for the loss, nor to plan for the practical affects of that loss. The medical bills, legal paperwork, insurance company questions, and possible loss of income can be catastrophic.

When these costs and expenses are the result of an accident or an incident caused by another's recklessness, Arizona law may allow the injured person to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover those costs and demand justice from those responsible. When the victim dies, the law allows certain family members or the victim's estate to bring a wrongful death action and/or a survival action.

In our state, the untimely loss of someone that resulted from the negligence of another creates the right to bring a wrongful death claim. Spouses, children and parents of the deceased victim may make a claim, or the personal representative of the victim's estate may sue on behalf of the estate. In an Arizona wrongful death case, these claimants can recover all of the expenses caused by the accident that led to the wrongful death; the expenses of a funeral or other final rites; income the family lost because of the wrongful death; and other costs, such as the cost of child care and help around the house that the victim once provided. Family members can also seek compensation for their own grief and shock, as well as the loss of the victim's love, care, companionship and guidance.

If you are considering making a wrongful death claim in Arizona, you can call Breyer Law Offices, P.C. We are Mark and Alexis Breyer, a husband-and-wife legal team and we specialize in helping victims of serious injuries demand justice, including justice for family members taken too soon. When we started our firm in 1996, we decided to focus exclusively on injury cases because we believe developing a deep knowledge of injury law enables us to give our clients the best possible representation. In more than a decade since, we're proud to say that we've been able to obtain millions of dollars in fair compensation for our clients - millions of dollars that had not been offered to our clients before we were hired to provide our legal services.

We believe strongly in open communication with our clients. As injury lawyers, we know our clients are often going through the most challenging time in their lives. Our job is to help. That's why we will ensure that you understand your case and your role in it, keep you up to date when things change, return calls promptly and treat you like the valued client that you are. You will never hear "legalese" from us if we can avoid it, and we'll take the time to make sure you're satisfied with the services we provide.

We are also proud of our contingency fee structure, which is not the high hourly legal fee you might have heard about. With a contingency fee, you pay no legal fees unless and until we are able to obtain compensation for you. When we prevail, we're paid with a percentage of the money recovered; if we lose, you pay nothing. That's it. This arrangement allows us to take meritorious cases where we believe we can make a difference, regardless of the income or background of the client.

In fact, we also offer free and no-obligation consultations, meetings at which we learn more about your case and give you our professional opinion on its prospects. That means there's no risk to you for getting to know us and learning more about your rights. To schedule a free consultation, you can fill out a confidential case evaluation or call us at (602) 978-6400, (623) 930-8064, (480) 753-4534, o para llamarnos en español, (602) 222-8787.
