Wrongful Death
Long Beach, California, Wrongful Death Attorney
The wrongful death of a loved one creates an emotional void in the lives of those who are left behind - a void that no amount of monetary compensation could ever begin to fill. But if you have lost a close family member in a fatal accident, pursuing compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit may play a part in healing after your loss. For a free consultation from an experienced lawyer dedicated to bringing you and your family justice, contact Lallande Law PLC today.
The law firm of Lallande Law PLC approaches wrongful death cases with three goals in mind:
1) To show compassion to the survivors for their lost loved one.
2) To learn as much as possible about what the deceased person was like, and what he or she meant to the survivors.
3) To communicate the true impact of that loss - emotionally and economically - to the opposing side or, if trial becomes necessary, to the jury.
Factors for the Jury to Consider
In a wrongful death trial, the most immediately apparent theme for an attorney to focus on is the emotional loss that is felt by the survivors - loss of companionship, for example. Another typical focus is loss of future wages and earning potential. Attorney Lallande makes sure to emphasize the material value of the economic services that the individual brought to the household where he or she lived.
For example, Lallande Law PLC once represented a mother who had shared a house with her son before he was killed in a fatal accident. Apart from the emotional toll this wrongful death took on the mother, Mr. Lallande was also able to make the jury consider the value of their shared rent, grocery bill and even the chores he had done around the house. This significantly raised the value of the case.
Using a similar approach, Mr. Lallande was also able to secure a $1.7 million settlement for a fatally injured housewife - an unprecedented sum for an undocumented Hispanic immigrant. A native of Puerto Rico, Mr. Lallande speaks both English and Español fluently.
If you have lost a close family member, Lallande Law PLC can provide experienced, highly effective wrongful death representation. For a free consultation, contact the firm online or call (866) 490-8514.
