Wrongful Death Dunn and Fayetteville, NC

The loss of a loved one due to another party’s negligence is one of the most devastating experiences a family can endure. In addition to emotional grief, surviving family members are often left facing unexpected financial burdens, loss of income, medical expenses, funeral costs, and uncertainty about the future.

At Parker & Frey PLLC, we understand that no legal action can undo the pain caused by a wrongful death. However, pursuing a wrongful death claim may help provide financial stability, accountability, and a sense of justice for surviving family members during an incredibly difficult time.

Personal Injury Accidents That May Lead To Wrongful Death

Wrongful death claims may arise from many different types of accidents and negligent actions. These cases often result from serious injuries caused by another person, business, or entity failing to act responsibly. 

Common causes of wrongful death claims include:

• Car accidents

• Truck accidents

• Motorcycle accidents

• Pedestrian accidents

• Bicycle accidents

• Drunk driving crashes

• Commercial vehicle accidents

• Premises liability accidents

In many wrongful death cases, families are left with unanswered questions regarding how the accident occurred and whether the death could have been prevented. Our attorneys work to thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the loss and identify all potentially responsible parties.

Damages That May Be Recovered In A Wrongful Death Claim

A wrongful death claim may allow surviving family members to pursue compensation for both financial and emotional losses resulting from the death of their loved one. Depending on the circumstances of the case, damages may include:

• Medical expenses related to the final injury or illness

• Funeral and burial expenses

• Loss of income and future financial support

• Loss of benefits and services

• Pain and suffering experienced prior to death

• Loss of companionship and guidance

• Emotional suffering of surviving family members

• Loss of care and support provided by the deceased
