When You Should Call Your Wrongful Death Attorney

Losing a loved one due to someone else's negligence or wrongful actions is an incredibly difficult and emotional experience. When faced with such a tragedy, you need support, and you should always call a qualified wrongful death attorney in Alabama.


A skilled wrongful death attorney from Luck Law, LLC, can provide the support and representation needed during this challenging time. If you have lost a loved one and believe their death was the result of someone else's wrongdoing, call our office and we can answer your questions. 


Understanding Wrongful Death Claims

When a person's death is caused by the negligent or intentional actions of another party, it is considered a wrongful death. These types of cases can arise from various situations, including: 

  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Workplace accidents
  • Criminal acts


In Alabama, the Alabama Wrongful Death Act governs the laws related to wrongful death claims. This can be a surprisingly complex law, so you always want to call a wrongful death attorney to assess your situation after a tragic loss. 


When to Seek Legal Representation

In the aftermath of a wrongful death, it can be difficult to know when to contact a wrongful death attorney. Many people put it off for various reasons, though reaching out to an experienced attorney as soon as possible is the best choice.


Here are some key situations where you should consider calling a wrongful death attorney:

  • Suspicion of negligent actions: If you suspect that your loved one's death was the result of someone else's negligence, consult with an attorney. They can review the details of the case, gather relevant evidence, and advise you on the best course of action.
  • Gathering evidence: A skilled wrongful death attorney understands the importance of gathering evidence to support your claim. They can assist in identifying key witnesses, obtaining police reports, and preserving any other crucial evidence that can strengthen your case.
  • Financial burden: The unexpected loss of a loved one can cause significant financial hardship. A wrongful death attorney can help you seek the damages you deserve.
  • Statute of limitations: In Alabama, there is a two-year statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim. Act promptly and do not miss the deadline to seek justice for your loved one.
  • Insurance companies: Insurance companies often try to settle wrongful death claims quickly and for less than what victims are entitled to. Having a skilled wrongful death attorney on your side can help ensure that you receive fair compensation and are not taken advantage of by any parties.
