Navigating the Legal Process in Juneau Wrongful Death Cases
The legal process for wrongful death cases in Juneau can be lengthy and stressful, especially for grieving families. Many families are unfamiliar with the procedural requirements, such as filing deadlines, gathering evidence, and proving liability. At Fitzpatrick, Skemp & Butler, LLC, we simplify this process by providing clear guidance and handling all aspects of the case. Another challenge in wrongful death cases is dealing with multiple insurance policies, especially in commercial vehicle accidents or incidents involving large corporations. For example, if a truck accident causes a fatality, both the trucking company’s insurance and the driver’s personal insurance may be involved. Insurers may attempt to reduce their payout by blaming each other or the victim. We navigate these complex negotiations, ensuring that your family receives the maximum compensation possible. Additionally, we work to secure non-economic damages, such as compensation for emotional suffering, which are often overlooked by insurance companies but are crucial for the family’s emotional recovery.
