Local Representation From A Local Lawyer Who Works For YOU

Danville Wrongful Death Attorney

When someone dies as a result of injuries sustained in an accident, the victim’s spouse and other surviving relatives must deal with the financial burden brought on by the death. This includes medical bills, burial costs, and in many instances, the loss of household income.

At my law firm, Greg T. Haymore, P.C., in Danville, Virginia, I understand that no amount of financial compensation can be considered a fair result for people who have lost their loved ones. However, it is important in the long term to seek full compensation for your tragic loss in order to ensure that your grief is not compounded by undue financial burdens.

I understand the emotional pain that a tragedy like this causes. As a wrongful death attorney, I make every effort to resolve your case on favorable terms as efficiently as possible, often without the need for prolonged litigation.

Proving Negligence In Wrongful Death Cases

A wrongful death lawsuit is extremely complex. It must be proven that someone else’s negligence directly resulted in the death. Through my extensive work with medical malpractice and personal injury cases, I have established strong professional relationships with important medical experts and other specialists who can strengthen your case and testify on your behalf if necessary.

This burden of proof is especially important in Virginia, which is one of three states, along with the District of Columbia, that adheres to a doctrine known as contributory negligence. This law holds that if a person who was injured or killed in an accident was negligent in any way and contributed to the cause of the accident, that individual (or his or her family) cannot recover any money in a lawsuit.

In other words, it is imperative that you prove the other party was completely negligent in his or her actions and caused the accident that resulted in your family member’s death. Enlisting the services of an experienced personal injury lawyer is a smart move to accomplish this critical step.
