• Collecting evidence and conducting a thorough accident investigation to hold all responsible parties accountable—In the case of wrongful death, there may be multiple responsible parties to consider. We will investigate all aspects of your case, including interviewing witnesses, reenacting the accident to prove fault, document requests, and more to ensure all responsible parties are held liable.
• Negotiate a favorable settlement—There is no monetary compensation that can resolve your grief. However, the economic effects that may have resulted from your loved one’s death warrant compensation. Without the proper representation, you risk receiving a low settlement offer. An OPO attorney will negotiate on your behalf so that you can receive maximum payment.
