Long Beach Wrongful Death Lawyer

If you lost a loved one in a preventable accident, the person or entity responsible could owe you compensation. A Long Beach wrongful death lawyer from our firm can confront the liable party’s insurance company or legal representation on your behalf.

At Morelli Law Firm, we are not afraid to fight hard for the money you deserve, even if we have to go to court. Each case begins with a complimentary case assessment, and our services are based on contingency—this means no out-of-pocket costs for you.

We Can Identify Who to Sue for Compensation

In most cases, whatever money you receive will come from the liable party’s insurance company. Different insurance policies provide protection for different kinds of accidents. Some policies are even required by law. Car insurance, for example, is a legal requirement, per the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS).

This information raises a vital question: Who is the liable party? Whose actions (or inactions) caused your loved one’s death? That depends on how the fatal accident happened. Examples of potentially liable parties include:

  • A property owner: If your loved one died after a slip and fall accident on someone else’s property
  • A driver: If your loved one was hit by a car, bus, truck, or another motor vehicle
  • A maintenance company: If those responsible for inspecting and repairing a vehicle or other piece of equipment did not fulfill their duties
  • A medical professional: If your loved one was the victim of medical malpractice
  • A manufacturer: If a faulty piece of equipment or an unsafe medication contributed to your loved one’s passing

You can hire a lawyer from our team to figure out who is liable in your case. If there is more than one responsible party, we could help you sue all of them.

Your Family may be Eligible for Two Types of Compensation

Losing a loved one is always difficult, no matter the circumstances. If your loved one passed away due to injuries sustained in an accident, you could be eligible for two types of compensatory damages.

Recovering Your Financial Losses

The first type is called “economic damages.” These reimburse you for the money you and your deceased loved one lost due to accident-related bills or reduced working hours. Examples typically include:

  • Medical costs: If your loved one survived long enough to receive medical treatment for their injuries
  • Loss of wages: If your loved one’s injuries—or the accident itself—prevented them from going to work and earning a living before their passing
  • Funeral costs: If you were financially responsible for any or all costs associated with laying your loved one to rest and settling their estate
  • Loss of financial support: If your loved one’s income helped you to maintain your lifestyle, and supporting yourself and your family without it has been difficult

Recovering Your Intangible Losses

The second type of damages is called “non-economic damages.” These will reimburse you for your loved one’s and your family’s suffering. As a result, they are often harder to quantify. Examples of non-economic damages include:

  • Pain and suffering: This applies to any physical and emotional distress your loved one experienced prior to their passing and the suffering you and your family experienced due to the unexpected death.
  • Loss of companionship: Your loved one’s untimely passing has robbed you of the chance to spend many more years enjoying their company.
  • Loss of guidance and parental support: This applies to any children the decedent left behind.

At Morelli Law Firm, we serve clients throughout the mid-Atlantic states, including areas like Long Beach, New York. In one case, we were able to recover millions for the relatives of a man struck and killed by a bus.
