Wrongful Death

North Carolina Wrongful Death Lawyers

At Thomas & Farris in Wilson, North Carolina, we handle wrongful death cases with due sensitivity. While strict laws are involved in proving negligence, the emotional element cannot be downplayed. Our attorneys will handle the entire legal process to help your family move forward.

For clients who contact us following the loss of a loved one in an accident, we make it clear that we will go to them. That is just the start of how we handle wrongful death cases. At the first meeting, we want to assure you that we are taking over the legal matters and that everything is being handled with ultimate professionalism and care while you necessarily grieve for your lost family member. That will involve contacting the insurance company and law enforcement.

At Thomas & Farris, we represent the rights of surviving family members in holding the negligent accountable for the death of the family's loved one. If the family member who was the primary breadwinner was killed in an accident, you are entitled to compensation based on past and future wages that would have been earned. Pain and suffering is also taken into account, as the emotional loss is obviously quite painful to a family. Punitive damages may also play a part in your compensation, if the individual or company that caused the death of your loved one was grossly negligent.

Whether the cause of death was from a pedestrian accident or a car and truck accident, you need to know that justice was served, and that is where our lawyers can help you and your family. We will help you recover the compensation you deserve and allow you to get on with your life.
