Mobile Wrongful Death Attorney Recovers Damages During Difficult Times

Protecting the rights of families under the unique Alabama laws

can I file a wrongful death claim?Alabama wrongful death law is different than similar laws of any other state in the United States. Families that lose loved ones due to the negligent or wrongful acts of others must pursue punitive damages to help provide the funds they need to help them move forward.

Without experienced local Mobile wrongful death attorneys, you can lose the opportunity to receive any form of compensation for your loss. At the Law Office of J. Allan Brown, L.L.C. we have more than a decade of experience helping families present effective claims in court.

The difference between compensatory and punitive damages

The wrongful death laws in other states allow families to pursue compensatory damages, which essentially try to recover monetary damages to compensate for anticipated future costs. In typical wrongful death actions, families can pursue the loss of future income, as well as the loss of relationships or even the pain and suffering of the decedent prior to death.

But Alabama wrongful death law permits only punitive damages. Mobile wrongful death lawyers must persuade a jury to punish the parties whose negligent or wrongful acts caused the injuries and subsequent death of a loved one. If the loss occurred from a violent criminal act, an experienced attorney has a good chance of convincing a jury to award punitive damages. But when death results from an unfortunate accident, juries may believe enough punishment comes from having to live with the knowledge that their actions caused a death.

How wrongful death attorneys in Mobile help grieving families move forward after their loss
