In 30 years as a trial lawyer, I have secured settlements and verdicts in a variety of wrongful death lawsuits:

• Auto, truck and motorcycle accidents
• Defective products
• Construction accidents
• Premises Liability

Introducing the Victim to the Jury

I spend considerable time with the survivors to try to flesh out the decedent's life. I want to get a strong sense of the person through the memories of family and friends, so that your loved one is there with us in court. By painting a picture of the deceased as a real person whose life was cut short by preventable negligence, I aim to maximize the monetary damages for the loss of income, the emotional distress and the lost contributions of the spouse, parent or child.

A Wrongful Death Verdict

I represented siblings whose invalid mother died in a house fire that started when a defective air mattress ignited. When the defense made no settlement offers, I took the case to trial and won a jury verdict for $233,500 against the manufacturer.

A fatal accident often stems from negligent or intentional actions. I work tirelessly to prove the negligence and hold the individual or entity responsible through a wrongful death claim.
