Wrongful death cases involve claims or lawsuits where another's conduct, product, or negligence caused death. Wrongful death and medical malpractice cases in Massachusetts can involve estates, executors, administrators, and family members of decedents.

The time immediate following a fatality can be overwhelming. You may need to communicate with authorities and investigators. It sometimes helps, when appropriate, to have an attorney who can remain understanding and objective in dealing with all parties involved.

If you are involved with an estate attorney who does not handle or litigate death claims or has a conflict of interest between the estate and litigants, you may consider our firm for your litigation needs.

In addition to cases involving a fatality, you may also become involved in an estate's personal injury claims and lawsuits which were unresolved before the decedent's death. For instance, a case may arise when someone was injured in a car accident before their death, but the injuries from the auto accident did not cause death. A deceased's claim or case may often proceed but may involve unique challenges arising without the decedent's direct testimony.
