Wrongful Death

Regardless of the how it happens, the death of a loved one is possibly one of the hardest things you face in your lifetime. If negligence or carelessness of another caused the death, your loss is one of greater anguish.

Wrongful death is defined as “death caused by the fault of another.” Wrongful death may be the result of medical errors, a defective product, a drunk driver, unsafe conditions in the workplace, in a building or other structure.

In the event of wrongful death, both criminal and civil suits may be filed against the person who caused the death. Criminal prosecution may be in the form of manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide or murder. Unlike a criminal suit, which is filed by government, surviving family members are entitled to monetary damages and may undertake civil action, when wrongful death occurs.

When someone you loved has died unnecessarily, we aggressively pursue legal remedies to ensure you receive the maximum compensation to which you are entitled under the law. Mr. Ricciardelli has helped many families in wrongful death actions, recovering millions of dollars to compensate for their loss.
