Common Types of Wrongful Death Cases

Wrongful death is a legal term that refers to a death caused by the wrongful act, omission, or negligence of another person or entity. It is a civil action that allows the wrongdoer to be held accountable. Common wrongful death cases we see include:

Automobile Accidents: Fatalities caused by reckless or impaired driving
Medical Malpractice: Deaths due to medical negligence or errors
Workplace Accidents: Fatal injuries occurring in unsafe work environments
Defective Products: Deaths resulting from dangerous or faulty products
And more

Whatever the cause, experiencing the loss of a loved one is incredibly painful. While no amount of compensation can heal the emotional wounds, holding the responsible party/parties accountable can provide a sense of justice for you and your family. At Long & Long, we are here to support you through this difficult journey. Contact us to learn how we can help.

Compensation Available for Wrongful Death Claims in Mobile

In Alabama, the compensation for wrongful death claims is unique. Alabama does not allow compensatory damages, which are typically intended to cover losses such as medical expenses, funeral costs, and loss of income. Instead, Alabama law focuses on punitive damages, which are meant to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future. The amount awarded depends on the severity of the defendant's wrongful actions (or lack of action).

There is no greater loss you can suffer than the loss of a family member or loved one. While nothing can give you back what you have lost, competent legal representation allows you to focus on healing and moving forward, knowing that your case is in good hands. We’re available to take your call 24/7, so contact us today to get a free case review with a member of our team.

Understanding Alabama's Wrongful Death Law

Alabama's wrongful death law allows the personal representative of the deceased’s estate to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Key aspects of the law include:

Statute of Limitations: Wrongful death claims must be filed within 2 years of the deceased’s death.
Eligible Claimants: Only the personal representative of the deceased’s estate can bring a wrongful death lawsuit. A personal representative is an individual appointed by the court or named in the deceased’s will to manage the estate and handle legal matters on behalf of the deceased.
Damages: Alabama focuses solely on punitive damages in wrongful death cases.

Do I Have a Claim?

Determining whether you have a valid wrongful death claim can be complex. Factors to consider include:

Negligence: Was the death caused by another party’s negligence or intentional act?
Causation: Can it be proven that negligence directly caused the death?
Statute of Limitations: Was the claim filed within the 2-year timeframe?

Navigating the aftermath of a loved one’s death is never easy, and understanding your legal rights can be overwhelming. Our caring team of wrongful death lawyers is here to help you evaluate your situation and guide you through the process, helping your family receive justice and closure. To learn whether you have a valid wrongful death claim and what to do next, reach out to us for a free case review.

Wrongful Death FAQs

Can multiple family members file separate wrongful death claims?

No, only one wrongful death lawsuit can be filed on behalf of the deceased’s estate. The personal representative is the sole individual with the authority to bring the claim, and any compensation awarded will be distributed according to Alabama’s laws of intestate succession or the deceased’s will.

What if the deceased did not have a will?

If the deceased did not have a will, the court will appoint a personal representative to manage the estate and file the wrongful death claim. The compensation awarded will then be distributed to the deceased’s heirs according to Alabama’s intestate succession laws.

How long does a wrongful death case in Mobile take to resolve?

The duration of a wrongful death case can vary depending on factors such as the number of parties involved, whether liability is disputed, and court schedules. At Long & Long, our attorneys will work tirelessly to ensure your case is handled efficiently, and you can expect timely communication from us when there are updates to share.

When should I hire a wrongful death lawyer?

It is important to seek the advice of a qualified attorney as soon as possible. Wrongful death cases follow different rules than typical injury cases. Prompt legal assistance ensures that critical evidence is preserved, witnesses are interviewed while their memories are fresh, and all legal deadlines are met.

What should I look for in a wrongful death lawyer?

When choosing a wrongful death lawyer, look for someone with experience handling similar cases, a track record of successful outcomes, and a compassionate approach to client care. It is also important to find a lawyer who is communicative and responsive to your needs and concerns throughout the legal process.
