Our Lawyers Understand How to Prove Wrongful Death Claims
Wrongful death is the legal term for the claim a family brings for damages against a defendant whose negligent or even intentional conduct resulted in a fatality. There are some important legal differences between personal injury litigation and wrongful death claims that your attorney needs to keep in mind. For example, you need to obtain a court order appointing a special administrator to present the wrongful death claim on behalf of the decedent's estate.
When you engage Wilburn & Masterson to represent your interests in wrongful death litigation, our attorneys guide you through the legal procedures. At the same time, we serve as a resource for advice and information about matters that don't relate directly to your lawsuit, such as claims under life insurance policies and survivors benefits applications. We provide all legal services necessary to protect your interests free of charge while we develop your claim for wrongful death damages.
Our attorneys concentrate on establishing liability and proving damages in a wide range of accident cases:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Defects in pharmaceuticals and prescription medications
- Accidents at work
- Boating accidents
- Nursing home negligence
We advise and represent people in wrongful death litigation in the Tulsa area and northeast Oklahoma. To learn more about the ways our law firm can help you through the crisis of an accidental death in your family, contact Wilburn & Masterson for a free consultation.
