Here in the White Mountains, there are many high speed highways. Due to the speed of vehicles traveling on these highways, when there is a crash, it will sometimes take the life of a person involved. When a serious crash or sudden accident takes the life of a spouse or family member, the shock is unimaginable. Adding insult to injury, while you are reeling from the loss, the bills, the paperwork, and the phone calls from insurance adjusters start piling up. If you are the one responsible for keeping your household running and managing your family’s logistics, the administrative concerns can feel as paralyzing as the grief.
You want accountability for what happened, and you need to ensure financial stability for your family. If someone close to you has passed away due to someone else’s negligence, a wrongful death claim is a critical step in holding the at-fault party responsible and securing your family’s future. White Mountain Injury Law is here to help.
The Financial Impact of an Unthinkable Loss
When someone passes away through the negligence of another, there can be severe financial consequences for the surviving family members. You shouldn’t have to drain your savings or worry about how to cover everyday costs while you are grieving.
Our goal is to look at every detail of your case and maximize any avenue of recovery.
Common Damages You Can Recover
While no amount of money can replace your loved one, a wrongful death claim can provide essential financial relief. Families can typically recover damages for:
- End-of-Life Expenses: The initial costs of a funeral and burial.
- Medical Costs: Any hospital bills or medical costs incurred prior to your loved one’s passing.
- Lost Income: Compensation for the loss of employment and the steady income your household relied on.
- Loss of Benefits: Compensation for the loss of vital benefits, such as medical insurance, that were provided through your loved one’s employment.
Watch Out for the Insurance Company’s Tactics
While you are trying to comfort your family and handle administrative tasks, the at-fault driver’s insurance company is already working to protect their own bottom line.
If an insurance company reaches out to you during this vulnerable time, there is one crucial thing to keep in mind: The insurance company is only interested in saving its money for its shareholders; therefore, it wants to settle the claim quickly. Trained insurance adjusters know you are overwhelmed and they know how to take advantage of your vulnerable situation. There are often complex issues involving policy limits or multiple policies, and the insurance company will not voluntarily divulge the other insurance policies available to cover your immense losses.
Don’t let an insurance company pressure you into a fast, unfair settlement while you are grieving. Contact White Mountain Injury Law to protect your rights. We will discuss the claim, educate you regarding your rights, uncover all possible insurance policies, and collect the maximum compensation on your behalf.
