North Carolina Fatal Accident Lawyer
When personal injuries result in death, North Carolina allows the deceased's estate to pursue a wrongful death claim against the negligent parties. A personal representative, usually a relative or loved one, is appointed by the court to pursue the action. At Dawson & Albritton, P.A., our attorneys are experienced in the investigation and pursuit of wrongful death claims on behalf of victims and their families.
You deserve protection. You deserve answers. You deserve recovery. Call 252-558-0091 or 1-888-321-3116, or contact us by e-mail for a free consultation with an experienced injury and wrongful death attorney.
Who Is Entitled to Wrongful Death Benefits?
While the representative of the estate seeks money damages by settlement or jury verdict, the compensation will ultimately be distributed to the deceased's heirs at law. Wrongful death benefits include compensation for pain and suffering of the victim, hospital and medical expenses, lost of income, loss of consortium and loss of parental contributions. We are experienced in collecting benefits for:
- Spouses
- Children
- Parents
