Wrongful Death
Compassionate Legal Representation for Families Affected by Wrongful Death
Losing someone you love is one of the hardest things anyone can go through—especially when their death could’ve been prevented. If your loved one passed away because of someone else’s carelessness, a bad decision, or even intentional harm, that’s what’s known as a wrongful death. This can happen in many ways, like a serious car crash, a medical mistake, a faulty product, or even a violent act.
In the United States, unintentional injuries were the third leading cause of death in 2022, accounting for 227,039 fatalities. While nothing can truly make up for your loss, filing a wrongful death claim can help you get justice, hold the right people accountable, and ease the financial burden during such a difficult time.

Types of Wrongful Death Cases We Handle
Losing someone you love is never easy, and we know how painful it is when that loss didn’t have to happen. At Lowe Injury Law, we help families who are going through this kind of heartbreak. These are some of the situations we often see in wrongful death cases:
Car Accidents
Car crashes are one of the most common reasons families lose loved ones. Whether it’s because someone was speeding, distracted, or driving under the influence, these accidents can change lives in an instant.
At Lowe Injury Law, we take the time to understand what happened and fight to get your family the compensation you need for things like funeral costs, lost income, and the emotional toll of your loss.
Medical Malpractice
We trust doctors and nurses to take care of us, but when they make mistakes—like misdiagnosing a serious illness, messing up during surgery, or giving the wrong medication—the results can be heartbreaking. If a loved one passed away because of a medical error, our team is here to help you hold those responsible accountable and guide you through every step of the legal process.
Product Liability
Sometimes, everyday products turn out to be dangerous. Whether it’s a faulty car part, a defective appliance, or a harmful household product, these things can cause serious harm—and even death. If your loved one died because of a defective product, we’ll investigate the case and work to get your family the justice and support you deserve.
Workplace Accidents
Some jobs are more dangerous than others, especially in industries like construction or manufacturing. If your loved one died because of unsafe working conditions or because their employer didn’t follow safety rules, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim. We’re here to help you stand up for their rights—and yours.
Premises Liability
Property owners are supposed to keep their spaces safe. If your loved one died because of unsafe conditions—like a serious fall, poor lighting, or lack of security—you may have a case. Our team will look into what went wrong and work to hold the property owner responsible.
Criminal Acts
If your loved one’s death was caused by a violent act like an assault or homicide, it’s possible to take legal action in civil court—even if there’s already a criminal case happening. While nothing can undo what happened, we can help you seek justice on the civil side and get the support your family needs to begin healing.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
A wrongful death lawsuit is meant to help those left behind get compensation and hold the responsible party accountable. But not just anyone can file the claim—here’s who usually can:
- The Surviving Spouse: If the person who passed away was married, their husband or wife usually has the right to file the claim first.
- Children of the Deceased: If there’s no surviving spouse, the deceased person’s children can often file the lawsuit.
- Parents of a Deceased Minor: If a child dies, the parents can typically file a wrongful death claim.
- Parents of a Deceased Adult (in some cases): Depending on where you live and the situation, parents may be able to file if their adult child has passed, and there’s no spouse or children.
- The Personal Representative of the Estate: If none of the above apply, or if required by law, the person handling the deceased’s estate (the executor) can file the claim for the family.
Keep in mind that every state has its own rules about who can file. If you’re not sure, Lowe Injury Law is here to help guide you through the process and figure out the best next steps for your situation.
Common Damages in Wrongful Death Cases
When someone you love passes away because of someone else’s actions, it can be an emotional and financial nightmare. A wrongful death lawsuit is there to help family members get the compensation they need to cover the costs and losses that come with the tragedy. Here are some of the most common types of damages you might be able to claim:
Funeral and Burial Expenses
- Medical Bills
- Pain and Suffering
- Punitive Damages
- Loss of Household Services
- Lost Wages and Future Earnings
- Loss of Companionship and Emotional Support
