Coquitlam Wrongful Death Lawyer

If you have lost a loved one unexpectedly, it can take a physical, emotional, and financial toll on the entire family. While there is no way to bring back your loved one, a wrongful death claim could help a family manage the financial burden of a sudden death. Funeral and burial expenses are significant, and the cost of your loved one’s medical bills before their death could become overwhelming. With the help of a Coquitlam wrongful death lawyer, you and your family could recover the financial damages you deserve from the person responsible for the death of your loved one.

Managing a lawsuit during the grieving process is challenging and time-consuming. However, a compassionate lawyer from our firm could assist in every aspect of the case. From investigating the cause to resolving the claim through a settlement or trial, a personal injury law firm experienced with wrongful death claims could make the difference in maximizing your recovery.

At Preszler Injury Law, we take pride in representing the surviving families of Coquitlam wrongful death victims. We are ready to discuss your case with you on your schedule and help to ensure that your legal rights are protected.

What is a wrongful death claim?

To begin, it is helpful to understand what a wrongful death claim includes. A wrongful death claim is not a criminal case. It is not brought by the government, and it will not result in the conviction or incarceration of the defendant.

Instead, a wrongful death lawsuit is a civil case. Filed by the family of the deceased against the person or entity responsible, these claims seem monetary compensation for the loss of life. While these cases are different from a criminal case, the two often occur parallel to each other.

Not every unfortunate death will result in a viable wrongful death claim in Coquitlam. To recover compensation, your claim must meet certain legal requirements and result from the negligence of another person. A thorough wrongful death law firm could help you establish the basis for a claim in court.

No fee unless we are successful

When you hire a wrongful death lawyer from Preszler Injury Lawyers, you do so with the peace of mind that you will never receive a surprise bill for legal fees. We only recover a fee if we are successful in your case, and will never charge money up-front to initiate your case.

Our firm operates on a contingency basis, which means our fee comes out of any money we obtain on your behalf. If we recover nothing for you, we are entitled to nothing from you.
