Monroe Wrongful Death Lawyers: Fighting for Families
In Monroe, families dealing with wrongful death often encounter resistance from insurance companies or defendants who attempt to minimize their liability. For example, in a case involving a defective product, the manufacturer may argue that the product was misused, shifting blame away from themselves. At Fitzpatrick, Skemp & Butler, LLC, we fight against these defense strategies by thoroughly investigating the case and working with product liability experts to demonstrate that the defect directly caused the fatality. Another common issue involves the distribution of compensation among surviving family members. Wisconsin law dictates who is eligible to receive compensation, but disputes often arise, especially in cases involving blended families or multiple beneficiaries. Our attorneys handle these delicate situations with care, ensuring that all family members receive their fair share of compensation. Whether your case involves a fatal accident, medical malpractice, or a defective product, our attorneys are committed to securing justice for your family and holding responsible parties accountable.
