Maine Wrongful Death Attorneys

Serving The Entire State of Maine

Lowry & Associates has helped many Maine families of wrongful death victims get the compensation they deserve.

Although wrongful death claims are based on the same kind of negligent conduct that is the basis of any personal injury claim, there are certain requirements in the law which place these cases in a separate category. Even though the death may have been caused by the negligent operation of a car, medical malpractice, a defective product or another kind of negligent conduct, wrongful death claims must be handled in a different manner than other personal injury cases. The time within which such a claim must be brought is much shorter than other cases, the measure of damages is different and the identity of the persons who may be compensated is an issue which is not presented in other personal injury cases.

Although money cannot compensate for the terrible pain of losing a loved one, it can help the family cover costs and provide some degree of future security in the absence of the deceased family member. It is for this reason that the victim's family members, dependents or beneficiaries may be entitled to recover financial compensation as a result of the defendant's negligence.

If your loved one's death could have been prevented, you and your family may be entitled to the following compensation:

• Immediate expenses associated with the wrongful death (medical and funeral)
• Loss of the victim's anticipated earnings until the time of retirement or natural death
• Loss of benefits caused by the victim's wrongful death
• Pain and suffering experienced by the victim leading to the wrongful death
• Loss of care, protection and companionship to the survivors
• Mental anguish suffered by the survivors

Wrongful death cases can be very difficult to prove and require timely research and investigation. Because time is a very important factor when filing a wrongful death claim, if you even have the slightest indication that your loved one's death may have been caused by someone else's negligence, e-mail or call Lowry & Associates immediately. We will advise you if there is a basis for filing a claim. As always this initial consultation with our wrongful death lawyers is free of charge.
