In the devastating aftermath of losing a loved one, it can be very difficult to make practical decisions and plan for the future. Sometimes the most you can do is to get through each day in one piece as you plan a funeral, deal with logistics, and help your family members process the loss. And when that loss is caused by someone else’s negligence, the grief and overwhelm are compounded by a deep sense of injustice, even anger.

If this situation sounds painfully familiar to you, you may have legal options. In Wisconsin, surviving family members have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim to seek accountability and compensation. While no amount of money can make up for what you have lost, a successful lawsuit can provide the financial support and legal recognition your family deserves.

If you believe your loved one’s death was preventable, one of our experienced, compassionate Milwaukee wrongful death attorneys can guide you through the complex legal process and help you decide what you want to do next.
