Your Advocate After a Fatal Accident
There is little that is worse for a family than the impact of a sudden, fatal accident. No one should be made to suffer the burden of the expenses and damages associated with a sudden death in the family.
At Mueller Law Group, P.A., in Phoenix, we help families determine whether they can recover compensation under Arizona's wrongful death and survival action statutes. Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation and case evaluation. Our policy is to advance all expenses and not charge you attorney's fees unless we are able to recover compensation for you.
Seeking Compensation for Family Members
Under Arizona's wrongful death statute, the close family members of someone killed in a motorcycle accident may be able to obtain compensation from the person responsible.
Obviously, nothing can bring your loved one back or heal your pain, but as you go through your own recovery process, you deserve to be free of the burdensome expenses that can be associated with someone's sudden death.
Among the bases for recovery under Arizona's wrongful death law are:
- Loss of earnings by the deceased
- Loss of affection
- Loss of guidance
- Loss of companionship
If a motorcycle accident has taken your loved one from you, contact us to get the caring assistance of lawyers who will help you understand your rights under Arizona law.
Handling Arizona Survival Actions
While wrongful death lawsuits can often be brought by the family members of someone who has been killed in a motorcycle accident, Arizona also has a survival action statute, allowing the estate of the deceased person to bring a lawsuit on behalf of that person (rather than family members).
Only certain damages are recoverable under this statute, such as financial costs incurred by the estate, as well as compensation for loss of enjoyment of life.
Many attorneys do not bring these claims. At Mueller Law Group, P.A., we are familiar with the survival action statute and regularly bring survivorship claims.
