Our firm specializes in and has developed a particularly impressive track record in achieving large financial verdicts/settlements from the successful prosecution of Wrongful Death Cases. Most noticeably: deaths due to an unsafe pharmaceutical product or nutritional supplement, death due to medical or prescription errors and/or medical malpractice, death due to dangerous property defects, fatal automobile accident due to a drunk driver, and death due to dangerous property defect and condition
Wrongful death claims are brought on behalf of the Estate of a person whose death was caused by a devastating, catastrophic underlying legal event like negligence, accident, product failure or medical malpractice. A wrongful death claim is based on an underlying civil wrong which has tragic results for the decedent, family members and children. A case is filed against the manufacturer or the tortfeasor ("wrongdoer") on behalf of the decedent's Estate and heirs.
A wrongful death lawsuit may provide all the financial security surviving family members ever have
At the law firm of Meyerson & O'Neill, we devote special attention and resources to such cases. Our lawyers recognize that such wrongful death and survivor claims often provide the only vehicle for financial security for family members following a devastating loss. We personally prepare and try such cases anywhere in the country. We are currently involved in several significant wrongful death cases including:
- the death of a dialysis patient who received a contaminated dose of Heparin;
- the death of a 39 year-old woman because her physicians prescribed a dangerous prescription drug despite the fact that she had an underlying heart condition;
- a case on behalf of a woman in her early 30's who died as a result of birth control patch manufacturer's failure to provide adequate warnings in conjunction with the sale of their product;
- and a construction site accident that killed a laborer who was a husband and father.
