$1,898,880 awarded by the Special Master of the Victim Compensation Fund to the estate of a woman killed in the September 11th, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center. We obtained sworn statements of the decedent's co-workers and superiors that she was anticipated to have a bright future at the company and thus her earning capacity was greater than what might have anticipated by simply reviewing her income prior to her untimely death. This case was handled without fee or expense to the client, as part of the Trial Lawyers Care program
Car Accident Deaths ∙ Fatal Premises Liability Accidents
After an accident is fatal, it is important to begin working with an experienced personal injury lawyer right away. Evidence can disappear after an accident. Perhaps a car is repaired — or sold. Witnesses begin to forget what they saw. A stair railing or elevator is fixed.
When you contact our law firm right away, an investigator can get to the scene and preserve the evidence. In the case of a wrongful death, the victim cannot testify and so a case may be based on evidence. It's important to preserve that evidence and preserve the scene. The wrongful death case may hinge on evidence rather than testimony.
