Wrongful death can arise from many situations where a defendant owed a duty of care but failed to meet it, resulting in tragedy. Common causes include:
Automobile accidents – including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and rideshare incidents.
Medical malpractice – negligence by doctors, hospitals, or medical staff.
Defective products – unsafe consumer goods, machinery, or auto parts.
Workplace incidents – construction accidents and industrial hazards.
Criminal acts – intentional actions or violence leading to death.
Each wrongful death case is unique, and damages can vary depending on the circumstances. Our attorneys help surviving family members determine liability, gather evidence, and pursue financial losses. Evidence is necessary to prove wrongful death, which may include accident reconstruction expertise to establish the facts of the case.
According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, accidental injury deaths remain one of the leading causes of fatalities in Maricopa County. In 2022 alone, over 2,000 deaths in Arizona were attributed to accidents, many of which could give rise to a wrongful death lawsuit.
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) also reports that Scottsdale and the surrounding metro area saw more than 25,000 motor vehicle crashes in 2023, many resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. These figures highlight the importance of experienced Scottsdale wrongful death lawyers to protect families facing such tragedies.
Under Arizona law, certain family members, including the surviving spouse, children, and parents, have the right to pursue a wrongful death action. A personal representative of the deceased person’s estate may also bring claims on behalf of the decedent’s estate. The statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim in Arizona is generally two years from the date of death, making timely legal action crucial.
Recoverable damages in a wrongful death lawsuit may include:
Economic damages – medical bills, burial expenses, funeral costs, and lost financial support.
Non-economic damages – pain, suffering, emotional distress, and loss of companionship.
Punitive damages – in cases involving gross negligence or intentional actions.
Attorneys with experience in wrongful death claims understand how to calculate both economic and non-economic damages, ensuring that families receive the compensation they deserve.
We help surviving family members understand their rights, seek compensation, and build strong cases against negligent defendants.
Pursuing a wrongful death claim requires compassion, diligence, and strong advocacy. At Harris Injury Law, we:
Investigate accidents thoroughly to determine negligence.
Collect vital evidence, including witness statements and expert testimony.
Handle negotiations with the insurance company to secure a fair settlement.
Represent families in court if a trial becomes necessary.
Guide you through the entire process while treating you with respect and care.
To win a wrongful death lawsuit, the plaintiff must show that the defendant’s breach of duty caused the deceased’s harm, which is why our thorough approach is essential.
Our compassionate attorneys understand the sensitivity of wrongful death cases and provide clear communication every step of the way.
Grief does not follow business hours, and neither do we. Our law offices are available around the clock to help families in Scottsdale and beyond. Whether your wrongful death case stems from a car accident, medical malpractice, or other negligence, we are here to provide guidance and take immediate legal action. Wrongful death attorneys typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients only pay if they win the case, making legal representation accessible to all families.
