A Wrongful Death Lawyer in Lynn Will Work on a Contingency Fee Basis
We never want to add to the financial burden your family faces after the loss of a loved one, so we handle wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis. Your family will only pay us for legal fees after we resolve your claim.
Can Your Family File a Lynn Wrongful Death Claim?
Massachusetts allows individuals to file a wrongful death claim after accidents caused by another party’s negligence, reckless acts, and breaches of warranty. Your Lynn wrongful death lawyer can assess your situation and determine if your family qualifies to file a claim.
Additionally, Massachusetts only allows an administrator (or executor) for the deceased’s estate to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Your loved one may have selected an administrator before their passing, or the court may assign someone to this role.
Funds Available to Your Family After a Fatal Accident
Your family may receive funds to cover all the losses sustained due to the loss of a loved one. Your attorney may push the liable party to cover the following:
- Your loved one’s lost income
- The assistance, protection, and services you would have received from your loved one
- The comfort, care, companionship, counsel, and advice your family would have received
- The costs of burial and funeral expenses
You may also receive funds to cover the conscious suffering your loved one experienced.
Will Your Family Get Punitive Damages?
The court system in Massachusetts will only award punitive damages if the accident involves wanton, willful, malicious, or reckless conduct or acts involving gross negligence.
Punitive damages serve as a way to punish the party responsible for the loss of your loved one instead of directly covering your financial losses. Your attorney can review your family’s situation and provide more information about whether you qualify for punitive damages.

Answer All Your Questions

Resolve Your Wrongful Death Claim
We take steps to resolve your family’s wrongful death claims quickly. We promise to give your family the option to begin litigation or settle with the insurance company within six months of the first settlement offer you receive.
Do You Have to File a Lawsuit After a Fatal Accident?
You may not have to go through the court system to secure compensation after the loss of a loved one. Instead, we initiate negotiations with the insurance company that represents the at-fault party.
We know how to fight the insurance company for you, leveling the playing field and refusing any unfair settlement offers.
In many cases, we can settle these claims outside of the court system. However, if the insurance company does not treat you fairly, you can rely on us to diligently represent you in court.
What’s the Time to File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Massachusetts generally only gives you three years to file a wrongful death claim after the loss of a loved one. If your family waits too long, the court will refuse to allow you to seek funds to cover the losses you face.
Our team can immediately begin the legal process. We’ll keep your case moving and handle all legal matters so you can focus on your family.
