Get Help from a Wrongful Death Attorney in San Mateo

When another person’s careless or negligent actions lead to the death of someone you love, the grief can be immeasurable. Any sudden loss of a person you care about is difficult, but that loss is made even worse by knowing that the loss could have been prevented. Although nothing can ever bring a loved family member back to those who were closest to them, there can be a sense of closure as well as protecting the future of surviving family members by filing a wrongful death claim.

A wrongful death claim can help compensate family members for their considerable pain and suffering, loss of future income, medical and funeral expenses, loss of companionship and other remuneration that may assist a family at a time when they need it the most.

The attorneys in the San Mateo office of The Cartwright Law Firm have handled many wrongful death cases over the years, and have earned the reputation for being compassionate, yet aggressive, in helping families on the road to recovery. They are experts in all facets of wrongful death cases, from the initial gathering of evidence and witness statements, to analyzing that evidence, formulating a case strategy, working with medical and accident experts, negotiating with insurance providers and defense law firms, and when the situation demands it, going to trial and fighting for justice on behalf of their clients.
