What should I do if my loved one is the victim of a wrongful death?

• Contact the North and South Carolina wrongful death attorneys at Grimes Teich Anderson LLP immediately so that they can begin to evaluate the unique circumstances of your case as soon as possible to be sure all relevant evidence is preserved.
• Keep track of all expenses you have incurred as a result of the death. These expenses may include lost income for the victim and for the victim’s family members who were caring for him or her, funeral and medical expenses, and any other expenses that relate to the victim’s loss.
• DO NOT sign anything in which you agree to waive any rights you have.
• DO NOT accept any settlement from the at-fault party or anyone representing the at fault party.
• DO NOT discuss your case on social media websites, such as Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter.
  

What shouldn’t I just accept a settlement offered by the at fault party?

Frequently, when a wrongful death occurs, the at-fault party will have an insurance company or corporation that may at least be partially liable for its wrongful behaviors. Insurance companies’ primary loyalty is to their investors, policyholders, and insureds. This fact means that their goal is either not to pay a claim at all or to pay as little as possible. If your loved one has died as a result of another's negligence, you have the right to claim full compensation under the law for the negligent party’s actions. Although insurance companies may offer to pay you some compensation, they often do not offer you sufficient compensation to provide for all the harm you have suffered. It is important to keep this fact in mind and realize that the offer an insurance company makes may be far less than the compensation you may be entitled to under the law.

The North and South Carolina wrongful death lawyers at Grimes Teich Anderson LLP have negotiated wrongful death settlements with these companies and know how to get you the full compensation the law allows. Whether it is by settling the case or by taking the case to trial, Grimes Teich Anderson, LLP, will pursue your claim as far as is reasonably necessary to seek the full compensation you are allowed under the law.
