Did someone else’s act of negligence cause the wrongful death of someone you care about?
At The Crecca Law Firm, your top Albuquerque Personal Injury Attorneys, we help families who have suffered the wrongful death of a loved one. We pursue fair compensation for victims and work to ensure that those who cause these types of accidents are held accountable for what they have done.
Over the course of more than 11 years, we have helped many families with the only recourse that the law allows in wrongful death cases: financial compensation.
Compensation Is Not Enough
Our lawyers understand that there is no amount of compensation that can come even close to being an adequate outcome for a family that has lost a loved one.
Still, this is the recourse that the law allows. It helps families to cover funeral expenses and any medical bills that may have accumulated prior to the person’s death. It helps families to cover the loss of income that the person would have brought in, had his or her life not been taken away.
The law also allows compensation for the loss of companionship due to wrongful death. Our attorneys are dedicated to recovering the full compensation allowed by the law.
Causes of Wrongful Death
Medical malpractice is a frequent cause of wrongful death. One act of negligence on the part of the doctor can mean the difference between healing and hurting. Misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and other forms of malpractice can lead to loss of life.
Wrongful death is also the result of many motor vehicle accidents, including car accidents and truck accidents.
