Quick Answers After A Wrongful Death
What This Practice Area Covers
A Wrongful Death Claim Is About Accountability and Protection for Families
A wrongful death claim arises when a person loses their life due to another party’s negligence or misconduct. These cases may stem from vehicle accidents, unsafe premises, medical negligence, or other preventable incidents.
While no legal action can undo a loss, a claim may help provide financial stability and accountability.
At Gillani Law, we represent families when liability is disputed or insurers attempt to minimize the value of a life lost.
Common Wrongful Death Cases We Handle
- Fatal car or truck accidents
- Motorcycle or pedestrian fatalities
- Workplace-related deaths
- Premises liability fatalities
- Negligent security incidents
- Medical negligence cases
- Defective product-related deaths
Each case requires careful review of the circumstances and applicable state law.
You May Still Have a Case Even If…
- There is an ongoing criminal investigation
- Fault has not yet been formally determined
- The responsible party denies liability
- Insurance companies are contacting you quickly
- You are unsure who has the legal right to file
- You are concerned about the emotional difficulty of pursuing a claim
A civil wrongful death claim is separate from any criminal case.
What To Do After A Wrongful Death
Preserve Important Documents
Keep medical records, accident reports, insurance correspondence, and any related documentation.
Avoid Early Settlement Discussions
Insurance companies may attempt to resolve claims quickly. It is often wise to seek legal guidance before accepting any offer.
Identify the Proper Legal Representative
In some cases, an estate must be opened to pursue a claim. Understanding who has legal authority is an important first step.
Speak With an Attorney
Discussing your options with Gillani Law can provide clarity and direction during a difficult time.
Damages We Commonly See In Wrongful Death Cases

- Loss of financial support
- Loss of benefits and future income
- Loss of companionship and guidance
- The full value of the life of the deceased, as defined by state law
