If your family has lost a loved one due to negligence or a fatal accident, contact the experienced and aggressive wrongful death attorneys at the Law Offices of Roderick C. White immediately.
Losing a loved one because of someone else’s negligence is one of the most devastating experiences a family can face. When a fatal accident happens due to careless, reckless, or negligent behavior, the law allows surviving family members to pursue justice through a wrongful death claim.
While no legal action can undo the loss, a wrongful death lawsuit can hold the responsible party accountable and help protect the financial future of the family left behind.
Wrongful death cases often involve serious legal disputes, insurance battles, and complex investigations. Our attorneys work to uncover the facts, build a strong case, and pursue accountability for the harm that was caused.

We represent families in a wide range of wrongful death cases, including:
Serious car crashes caused by reckless or negligent drivers can result in tragic loss of life. These cases often involve complex investigations and aggressive insurance defense.
Accidents involving 18-wheelers and commercial trucks often lead to catastrophic consequences. Trucking companies and insurers frequently fight these cases aggressively.
Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on the road. When negligent drivers cause fatal motorcycle crashes, families may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim.
Pedestrians struck by vehicles often suffer fatal injuries. These cases frequently involve distracted driving, speeding, or failure to yield.
Fatal falls, unsafe conditions, or negligent security on someone else’s property can lead to wrongful death claims against property owners or businesses.
When fatal accidents occur due to unsafe work conditions, defective equipment, or third-party negligence, legal action may be necessary to pursue accountability.
What Is Considered Wrongful Death?
A wrongful death occurs when a person dies as a result of another party’s negligent, reckless, or intentional conduct.
Common causes of wrongful death include:
Motor vehicle accidents
Commercial truck accidents
Unsafe property conditions
Workplace accidents
Defective products
Negligent security incidents
These cases often require a detailed investigation to determine exactly what happened and who may be legally responsible.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Wrongful death laws vary by state, but generally the right to file a claim may belong to:
A surviving spouse
Children of the deceased
Parents of the deceased
In some cases, the estate of the deceased
Because these rules vary depending on the state where the case is filed, it is important to speak with an attorney who understands the applicable laws.
Losing a loved one because of someone else’s negligence is an unimaginable loss. When that loss occurs due to reckless or careless conduct, families deserve answers and accountability.
How We Build Strong Auto Accident Cases:
Wrongful death claims require careful investigation and legal strategy. Our approach focuses on:
We examine accident reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert analysis to determine what caused the fatal incident.
In many cases, multiple parties may share responsibility for the fatal accident.
Medical experts, accident reconstruction specialists, and financial professionals may be necessary to build a strong case.
We prepare every case with the expectation that it may need to be presented in court.
Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases
A wrongful death claim may allow families to pursue compensation for damages such as:
Funeral and burial expenses
Medical expenses related to the fatal injury
Loss of financial support
Loss of benefits and income
Loss of companionship and guidance
Pain and suffering experienced before death
Insurance companies often fight these cases aggressively, which makes experienced legal representation critical.
