Last updated on October 27, 2025

The phone call you have always dreaded, perhaps without knowing it, has just come. You’ve been told that a beloved friend, relative or loved one has died in a serious personal injury accident. The setting could have been a violent car accident or in a hospital, stemming from medical malpractice. It may have been a sudden accident that unfolded at a work site or on unsafe property.

Your grief is unimaginable, your loss incalculable. Amid the mourning and emotional rebuilding, the thought might never occur to you that justice under the law is out there, waiting for you to seek it on behalf of the deceased.

At the Law Offices of Joel L. Katz, LLC, our skilled and compassionate wrongful death lawyers tenaciously protect the futures of families whose loved ones die as a result of someone’s negligence. We understand that no amount of financial compensation can ever replace the loved one you have lost. However, pursuing justice is a necessary step to both honor their memory and secure your family’s future stability.

Situations That Can Lead To Wrongful Death Claims

When negligence or carelessness results in the tragic loss of a loved one, it often stems from a serious injury situation that should have been prevented. We understand that identifying the precise cause of death is a crucial step in seeking justice for your family.

Serious injury situations that can result in tragic wrongful death include:

• Auto accidents
• Slip-and-fall accidents
• Workplace accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Assault
• Pedestrian accidents

Our attorneys meticulously investigate the evidence, gather expert testimony and establish the defendant’s direct negligence. We work tirelessly to prove that a preventable action or inaction caused your loved one’s death, building a comprehensive case to secure the maximum financial recovery you deserve.

Types Of Compensation Available In Wrongful Death Cases

The financial losses associated with the sudden death of a loved one can be devastating, adding immense stress during a time of grief. Our firm is dedicated to recovering the full range of damages your family is entitled to, which may include:

• Funeral and burial expenses: Compensation for the costs directly related to the deceased’s final arrangements
• Medical expenses: Coverage for any final medical treatment the deceased received before their passing, resulting from the injury
• Loss of future income: Funds to replace the wages and benefits the deceased would have reasonably earned over their lifetime, supporting their family
• Loss of services and support: Compensation for the value of the noneconomic contributions the deceased provided, such as child care, household management or guidance
• Pain and suffering: Damages for the emotional anguish, sorrow and mental pain experienced by the surviving family members

Our firm is committed to easing your financial burden during this devastating time. We take these complex personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we successfully secure a settlement or win a verdict in your favor.
