Wrongful Death

Bringing a Wrongful Death Claim in Utah

Salt Lake City Wrongful Death Attorney

Losing a loved one is the most difficult thing any of us will experience. We all know it will happen some day, but for your family that tragic loss came far too soon because of the negligent or reckless actions of another person or a company.

When negligence leads to a wrongful death, surviving family members can seek financial compensation for immediate and long-term losses. A wrongful death lawsuit allows you and your family to regain financial stability after your loss.

Justice for your family may save other lives. If your loved one died because of medical malpractice or nursing home negligence, a wrongful death claim can lead to lasting changes in how services are provided and staff are trained so other families do not need to suffer as you are suffering now.

If you have lost a loved one, contact the law offices of Rasmussen & Miner by calling toll-free: 1-800-585-6726. For more than 20 years our wrongful death lawyers have been helping families receive the financial compensation they deserve in wrongful death and serious injury cases.

Why You Need an Experienced Legal Advocate

Unless you have worked in the insurance industry and have a good understanding of how insurance companies operate, you are at a great disadvantage in bringing any kind of injury claim. The insurance company may offer you only a token amount of money as a death benefit and pay only a portion of your bills. Unless you work within this system regularly, you won't know that you are being treated unfairly.

One of the most important things your Rasmussen & Miner attorney will do for you is guide you through the process of dealing with insurance companies.

• We will educate you about the value of your claim.
• We will identify every party who could be held liable for the fatal accident so that you can make a full financial recovery.
• We can help you identify and make your claim for all available life insurance carriers (for example, your loved one may have had life insurance through work).
• Because of our firm's knowledge of the criminal justice system we can also help you with your victim impact statement if, for example, your wrongful death claim occurred because of a drunk driving accident.

At Rasmussen & Miner we understand that this is not just a court case, this is your family's future! We are here to protect your rights. Call (801)363-8500 or contact our Salt Lake City law office to schedule a free consultation.
