Greenville Wrongful Death Attorneys Pursuing The Justice Your Family Deserves
Losing a loved one to a preventable tragedy is a devastating experience. Along with grief, it leaves a family searching for answers. At Hurley Law PA, we understand that no amount of money replaces a life. Still, a successful wrongful death claim provides the financial stability your family needs to move forward. As aggressive litigators, we do not simply settle for low offers. We prepare every case for trial, protecting your rights when the stakes are highest.
Holding Negligent Parties Accountable
A wrongful death occurs when a person dies because of the neglect or wrongful act of another. In South Carolina, these claims allow families to seek the justice their loved one can no longer pursue. Our attorneys handle fatal litigation arising from various tragedies such as:
- Motor vehicle fatalities: Providing powerful representation after a catastrophic car crash, truck wreck or motorcycle accident.
- Vulnerable road users: Protecting families following a bicycle and pedestrian tragedy.
- Professional negligence: Holding health care providers accountable for fatal medical malpractice.
- Premise liability: Pursuing justice for deadly falls or security failures on dangerous properties.
We conduct deep investigations to prove liability and hold the responsible party accountable in the courtroom. At the same time, we act as your shield against insurance companies that try to minimize your loss.
Compensation For Surviving Families
In South Carolina, the estate’s personal representative must file the claim. However, the recovery benefits the surviving spouse, children or parents.
Our lawyers fight to secure compensation for burial expenses, lost future wages and mental anguish. We also evaluate cases for survival actions to recover for the pain and suffering your loved one experienced before passing.
Common Questions About Wrongful Death Claims
Managing a legal claim while grieving is incredibly difficult. We have provided these answers to help your family understand the unique rules governing personal injury and fatal accident cases in Greenville.
How is fault determined in a fatal accident?
We determine fault by proving the other party was negligent. Because South Carolina uses comparative fault, the defense may try to blame the deceased to reduce your award. Our attorneys aggressively counter these tactics to protect your claim’s full value.
What is the deadline to file a claim in South Carolina?
You usually have three years to file. Deadlines for medical malpractice or government entities are often much shorter. We act fast to preserve evidence before it disappears.
