Wrongful Death Attorney – Fighting for Justice and Your Family’s Future

Losing a loved one is devastating. When that loss is caused by someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions, the grief can feel unbearable. In those moments, you deserve answers, accountability, and justice. That’s where an experienced wrongful death attorney can help.

At Johnson & Johnson, Ltd., we represent families who have lost loved ones in tragic, preventable circumstances. Our mission is simple: to hold negligent parties responsible and to secure the compensation your family needs to rebuild and move forward.

What Is Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death occurs when a person dies because of another party’s careless or intentional actions. Common causes include:

  • Motor vehicle accidents involving cars, trucks, or motorcycles
  • Medical malpractice such as misdiagnosis or surgical mistakes
  • Workplace accidents caused by unsafe conditions
  • Defective or dangerous consumer products
  • Nursing home neglect or abuse
  • Violent criminal acts

In these situations, the law allows certain surviving family members to pursue a claim with the help of a wrongful death lawyer. These claims are not only about financial recovery—they are about justice and accountability.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?

Each state sets its own rules, but typically, a wrongful death attorney can help the following family members bring a claim:

  • Spouse of the deceased
  • Children of the deceased
  • Parents (if no spouse or children survive)
  • Estate representative on behalf of beneficiaries

Because eligibility and procedures vary, it’s critical to consult an attorney early to protect your rights.

What Damages Can Be Recovered?

A skilled wrongful death attorney can pursue compensation for both financial and emotional losses, including:

  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Medical expenses related to the final injury or illness
  • Loss of income and future financial support
  • Loss of companionship, guidance, and care
  • Pain and suffering your loved one endured before death
  • Punitive damages in cases involving egregious misconduct

We work with financial experts, medical specialists, and life-care planners to ensure your claim reflects the true impact of your loss.

Why Hire a Wrongful Death Attorney?

Wrongful death cases are legally complex and emotionally exhausting. Without legal representation, families often face powerful insurance companies determined to minimize payouts. Here’s why hiring our firm makes a difference:

1. Experienced Advocacy

We know how to investigate, gather evidence, and prove liability in wrongful death cases.

2. Resources and Experts

We partner with accident re-constructionists, medical professionals, and economists to build a strong case.

3. Maximum Compensation

Our attorneys don’t settle for lowball offers. We fight for the full compensation you deserve.

4. Compassionate Support

We guide you through every step with respect, patience, and care.

5. Trial-Ready Representation

If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we are fully prepared to take your case to court.

Statute of Limitations: Don’t Wait to Call a Wrongful Death Attorney

Every state has strict deadlines for filing wrongful death claims. Missing the statute of limitations could mean losing your right to compensation entirely. Depending on where you live, you may have only one to three years to act.

Contacting a wrongful death attorney immediately ensures critical evidence is preserved and your case is filed on time.

Wrongful Death Attorney FAQ

You may still recover compensation. We’ll analyze your case and advise you on the best path forward.
