Wrongful Death

In the worst times, call on the best help — our wrongful death lawyers in North Carolina and Virginia

It is always difficult to deal with the loss of a loved one.  While the law can never fully compensate you for your loss, an action for wrongful death may be necessary to ease the financial burdens placed on your family by the negligent actions of another.  At Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban, PC, we have experience working with families who have had to deal with the painful experience of losing a loved one.  Our staff is here to listen to your concerns, provide you with options, and if necessary, take the appropriate legal action.

What is wrongful death?

Wrongful death occurs when an individual loses his or her life because of negligence, misconduct, recklessness, or inaction of another person, company, or entity.  Usually the executor or administrator of the decedent's estate, or relative acting as an administrator, brings the claim in a civil action.  The recovery is distributed to the decedent’s close relatives, as specified by state law, not by the terms of the decedent’s will.

Successful and significant recovery requires strong legal support

Because of the severity of a wrongful death case and the many complex issues surrounding it, decisive action by an experienced attorney is necessary for a successful and significant recovery.  Our wrongful death attorneys have handled and litigated many wrongful death cases and made significant recoveries on behalf of the loved ones left behind when these senseless tragedies occur.
