Wrongful Deaths

Kelley|Witherspoon has a history of successfully representing wronful death victims of negligence throughout America. Negligence means “the failure to do something which a reasonably prudent person would do under like circumstances. We understand that these traumatic events can cause depression, multiple disruptions, economic losses and devastation in an individual’s or a family’s life.

The last thing on your mind after experiencing a traumatic event is hiring a lawyer. However, if you have recently experienced the loss of a loved one or serious injury, by the time you read this, the wrongdoers have already begun investigating to protect their own interests. It’s critical that you also have someone protecting your interests. Kelley|Witherspoon will immediately preserve important evidence to ascertain the truth and protect your legal rights. Choosing Kelley|Witherspoon for your legal representation is the first step in moving towards the closure you deserve. Kelley|Witherspoon focuses on wrongful death cases arising from:

• Aviation Accidents: Our highly successful and skilled aviation team of lawyers has experience in all areas of aviation and plane crash cases. Often at some point, even in the midst of such horrific loss, there arise questions-the questions of “why and how?” Why did this accident happen? How did it happen? How can it be prevented from happening again?
• Truck Accidents: A traffic accident involving a large commercial truck, such as an 18-wheeler or semi truck, can have disastrous consequences. A typical fully loaded large commercial truck can weigh over 80,000 pounds, while an average passenger automobile weighs approximately 3,000 pounds. Because of the shear size of trucks, any collision between a commercial truck and another vehicle is likely to result in serious, even fatal, injuries.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcycle riders are extremely vulnerable in an accident, even with helmets and protective gear.
  
• Construction Site Accidents: Construction sites are among the most dangerous places to work.
  
• DWI Accidents: If you have been injured or a loved one killed by a drunk driver, our lawyers can help.
  
• Pedestrian Accidents: Pedestrians usually have the right of way, making many accidents involving a motor vehicle and a pedestrian the responsibility of the driver of the car.
  
• Automobile, Train, and Boat Accidents: Hundreds of fatal auto accidents occur every year in America, with many more causing catastrophic injury.
