Wrongful Death

Bay Area Wrongful Death Attorney

A driver runs a red light and kills a pedestrian. A landlord fails to repair a balcony, and a tenant falls to her death. A boater drives too close to shore, fatally injuring a swimmer.

The untimely death of a loved one is tragic under any circumstances. When the death was due to someone's negligence, it can be devastating.

No amount of money can ever make up for the loss of a loved one, but financial compensation is the only remedy the law allows. In some cases, a financial recovery helps replace the deceased person's earnings, allowing the family to survive financially. Pursuing compensation for a wrongful death is also a way to send a message to the responsible parties. It can bring attention to the problem and help prevent others from suffering a similar fate.

If someone you love died because another person or organization was reckless, careless, or negligent, please contact the wrongful death attorney at the Law Offices of David G. Smith. We have been helping survivors collect compensation for the wrongful death of their loved one for nearly 30 years.

We will investigate the circumstances of your loved one's death. We will hire appropriate experts, from accident reconstructionists to respected, independent medical experts, to determine what happened and whether negligence was involved.

We will pursue the maximum amount of compensation for your loss.
