In addition to the immeasurable grief caused by an untimely death, the surviving family often suffers enormous financial damages, including loss of income, insurance, pension and retirement benefits, as well as the loss of the companionship, love and guidance of the person who was killed.

Our attorneys investigate fatal accidents using engineers, toxicologists, forensic specialists, materials experts, and others in determining what happened, why, and how it could have been prevented. Even in cases where a manufacturer or employer has not purposely flouted the law, if they should have reasonably foreseen the dangers involved in their actions, they can still be held liable for deaths caused by a dangerous product.

Determining when Gross Negligence is Involved
While each case is different, negligence involves a breach in the duty of care one party owes another. In each instance, the court or jury must determine whether a reasonable person could have foreseen or should have foreseen certain dangers associated with a particular action. In cases of gross negligence, a blatant disregard or indifference for the safety or well-being of others is involved - not just a failure to see or identify a duty of care.
For instance, driving drunk, speeding excessively, ignoring serious medical symptoms, or locking fire exits indicate a disregard for the safety of others: engaging in actions known to be inherently dangerous betrays a reckless indifference to the well-being of others and the potential consequences of one's actions.
