Losing a loved one is a devastating event. It’s hard enough to cope with the loss of a loved one who dies of natural causes, but when someone you love dies due to reckless or negligent behavior of another individual or entity, the emotions can feel extremely unjust and overwhelming.

 

If your loved one’s death could have been prevented, you may be entitled to financial compensation as a result of the defendant’s negligence. Don’t give up hope. The attorneys at Filicetti Law Office P.A. are dedicated to helping families dealing with wrongful death.
