MASSACHUSETTS WRONGFUL DEATH LAWYERS
One of the greatest tragedies any of us can ever face is losing a partner or family member in death. In addition to missing the love, joy, and companionship your loved one brought to your life, you may also face serious financial difficulties without his or her support. If your loved one has died due to another party’s negligence or misconduct, you may be entitled to monetary damages. However, after your loss, taking legal action might be the furthest thing from your mind. The legal team at Jason Stone Injury Lawyers understands that filing a wrongful death lawsuit can in no way compensate for the devastation you feel after losing your loved one in death. Taking this step, though, can ease your financial burden during this difficult time.

WHAT IS A MASSACHUSETTS WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT?
WHAT IS A MASSACHUSETTS WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT?
A wrongful death lawsuit is a claim holding someone liable for a death. This claim is made by the family members of the one who died, against the party whose negligent actions led to the death of their dear loved one.

You may find some comfort in knowing that you can seek compensation if you were reliant on them for financial and emotional support.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT?
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT?
Each state has its own statute of limitations governing wrongful death lawsuits. In Massachusetts, you have 3 years from the date of your loved one’s regretful death. You will be able to recover damages only if a suit is filed within the allotted time. Keep in mind that it takes time to put together a strong case. It’s best to contact a lawyer well before the statute of limitations runs out.There is an additional reason to act quickly in filing a claim. After a wrongful death, insurance companies immediately dispatch their own investigators to the scene. They do this in an effort to limit the amount of compensation they are required to payout. However, filing a claim is the last thing you need at an emotionally overwhelming time like this, and a potential lawsuit is the last thing you need on your mind. You are grieving and must take time for yourself and your family. That’s why you need someone on your side to look out for your legal rights. The compassionate Massachusetts personal injury attorneys at Jason Stone Injury Lawyers will do all they can to aid you through the legal process of filing a claim. We’ve been handling insurance companies and guilty party’s lawyers since 2004, so we can manage your case’s opposition as well. You can focus on reattaining your peace in life while we handle all negotiations. We won’t let the liable party’s insurance company and lawyers take advantage of you during your time of grief. Our legal team will work hard investigating your case, talking to witnesses, and gathering all the evidence needed for a successful case.
