The unexpected loss of a loved one because of another person’s negligence or wrongful conduct can have profound and lasting consequences for a family. While no legal action can compensate for that loss, a wrongful death claim can provide accountability, financial security, and a measure of justice for those left behind. Peck Baxter represents families with compassion, discretion, and experienced advocacy following fatal accidents and other wrongful acts.

Our attorneys handle wrongful death claims arising from motor vehicle and trucking accidents, medical malpractice, dangerous property conditions, defective products, workplace and construction accidents, abuse, and other negligent or intentional conduct. We carefully investigate the circumstances of the death, identify responsible parties and available insurance coverage, and work with appropriate experts to understand the full financial and personal impact on surviving family members.

Wrongful death cases can involve claims for lost financial support and benefits, funeral and burial expenses, loss of companionship and other damages available under applicable law. Peck Baxter handles the legal and insurance issues so families can focus on one another, while pursuing meaningful accountability and the compensation the law provides.
