A wrongful death lawsuit enables the family of the deceased to recover monetary losses — such as the loss of income — associated with the death of their loved one. A qualified attorney can help families obtain damages for a wrongful death.
At the Law Offices of Jeff Martin, we have experience advocating for families of wrongful death victims in Tulsa and communities throughout Oklahoma. A wrongful death case may arise from an incident at a hospital or in the workplace. Attorney Jeff Martin understands the common defenses used to combat a wrongful death lawsuit. A wrongful death lawyer can examine the facts in the wrongful death case to make sure the individual or parties responsible are held accountable.
It's hard enough emotionally to lose a loved one because of another person's negligence. But on top of the emotional pain, family members who suffered a wrongful death often face very real financial turmoil: Funeral expenses, medical bills, lost wages, and other losses.
We understand that no amount of money can compensate a family for the loss of a loved one. However, the law provides a means to protect the spouse, children and parents of the deceased.
Wrongful death cases are a result of another person's negligence. Such cases are civil actions rather than criminal actions.
It's difficult it is to come to grips with filing a wrongful death suit after losing a loved one. It's important to keep in mind that a delay could affect your legal rights. Depending on which state you file a wrongful death suit in, you may have up to three years beyond the death of your loved one to file a case. In Oklahoma, a wrongful death action must be filed within two years of the date of death.
