Wrongful Death

An accident that results in the death of an innocent victim is truly a tragedy. One death on the account of someone else’s negligence is one too many. Unfortunately, numerous wrongful deaths happen in Massachusetts each year. Each and every loss of life is something that will affect the lives of their loved ones. It’s impossible for life to ever be the same for a child who loses a parent, a parent who loses a child, or a husband who loses a wife.

There are many ways that the loss of a loved one can affect your life. A child losing a parent loses not only the financial support of a parent, but also the guidance and counsel that a parent provides as the child navigates life on his/her own. Someone who loses a spouse loses the chance to grow old with them. They don’t get to share the joy of being a grandparent together. A parent who loses a child is an unimaginable loss that no one should have to go through.
