Wrongful Death Representation

Fighting for Justice When Negligence Takes a Life

A wrongful death occurs when a person dies as a result of another party's negligent, reckless, or intentional conduct. These cases are among the most emotionally difficult legal matters imaginable — and among the most legally complex. The stakes are enormous, and the responsible parties always have aggressive legal representation fighting to minimize what they pay.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?

In Utah, Idaho, and Arizona, the right to file a wrongful death claim belongs to the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased. In some cases, dependent siblings or other family members may also have a claim. A personal representative of the estate may also bring survival action claims for the decedent's pre-death pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost earnings.
