Cline & Singh, PLLC is a trusted wrongful death attorney and wrongful death lawyer serving clients throughout West Virginia. Losing a loved one due to someone else's negligence is devastating. Our attorneys pursue accountability and help families recover the compensation they deserve.
A wrongful death claim allows the surviving family members of someone killed by another's negligence or wrongful act to seek compensation for their loss. These cases arise from a wide range of circumstances — motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, defective products, and more. Our wrongful death lawyers handle every aspect of the claim so grieving families can focus on each other.
We approach these cases with both the legal rigor they require and the sensitivity they deserve.
In West Virginia, a wrongful death action is brought by the personal representative of the deceased's estate on behalf of the surviving beneficiaries. Beneficiaries who may recover include the surviving spouse, children, stepchildren, and in some cases parents and siblings. We help families understand who is eligible to recover and how the proceeds will be distributed.
Recoverable damages in a wrongful death case may include funeral and burial expenses, medical expenses incurred prior to death, lost income and financial support the deceased would have provided, the value of services the deceased provided to the family, and the sorrow, mental anguish, and loss of companionship suffered by surviving family members. We pursue every available category of damages and fight to ensure the full impact of your loss is recognized.
We represent families pursuing wrongful death claims throughout West Virginia. If you have lost a loved one due to another's negligence, our attorneys are here to help, wherever in the state you live.
