It is difficult to lose a family member in an accident resulting from personal injuries. It can make your loss even harder to deal with if another party is negligent. It is important to hold the negligent party accountable. Smith & Hassler assists families in obtaining justice for loved ones. The family of the deceased can file a wrongful death suit to seek financial damages for the losses (such as income loss) that were caused by the death. A wrongful death lawsuit is one that is brought by the family of a person who has died as a result of negligence. While criminal charges may be brought against the deceased, they do not affect the outcome.
