Personal Injury Lawyer St. Louis
Because of the reckless actions of another driver or the unsafe practices of a business, your loved one has passed.
You have no idea how to move forward, or how your family is going to get by without them. There are options that you
can take, and while no settlement or judgment will ever bring your loved one back, a Wrongful Death
Lawsuit can help you and your family move forward.
The question is, what options do you have, and can you sue? Under Missouri Laws, you and your
family memebers are entitled to bring a wrongful death lawsuit against those responsible for the death of your loved
one. But what exactly does that mean? What can your family recover? Will the settlement cover all of your expenses,
and if your loved one provided your family with income, will it cover their lost income as well? The short answer?
Yes.

list of the items that may be recoverable in a wrongful death claim:

death claim, our Personal Injury Lawyers in St. Louis can help. We don’t charge any
fees for our consultations, and we never charge any attorneys fees unless we win your claim.
