Guarding Your Right to File a Wrongful Death Claim
The pain of losing a loved one can be debilitating. Unfortunately, the circumstances behind the death can be even more disturbing. Was your child killed in a shooting? Was your mother involved in a car or truck accident? Wrongful deaths can put you on an emotional roller coaster.
At Van Amburg Law Firm in Tucson, Arizona, we understand the emotional turmoil surrounding wrongful deaths. We have significant experience helping families protect their rights to file wrongful death claims. We can help you and your family start the grieving and healing process.
What Is Wrongful Death?
A wrongful death claim can occur when a victim dies as the result of a crime or fatal accident. This does not necessarily mean the victim died instantly at the scene of the crime or accident. Victims could have lingered in a coma, required multiple surgeries, or developed complications before their deaths. There is no time requirement between the fatal injury and death.
Who Can File a Claim?
The law limits those who can file a wrongful death claim to the victim's parents, children and spouse.
State Employee Caveat
It is important to note that you only have 180 days to file a claim under Arizona law if a state employee was involved in the fatal accident. Our practice, headed by lawyer Noah J. Van Amburg, understands this limitation and how it affects your claim.
