If your family member’s death was caused by someone else, you may be able to hold that person financially accountable via a wrongful death claim.

Why You Need a Lawyer
Right now, if you are suffering from the significant loss of a loved one, you need time to grieve and to heal. This traumatic experience can be made much worse by having to deal with aggressive insurance agents and lawyers. You do not have to put yourself through this additional stress. Instead, hire a lawyer to handle your claim for you while you focus on yourself and your family.
Filing a wrongful death lawsuit can be a daunting process. It requires meticulous care and determination to gather and present all of the necessary evidence and negotiate with an opponent or argue before a jury. Depending on the accident that led to your loved one’s death, it may be complicated to identify all of the liable parties. The plaintiff will have to interpret complex medical records, communicate with insurance agents, and file paperwork correctly and on time. Lawyers are trained to handle all of these steps and more. With a lawyer on your side, you are far more likely to receive the full amount of compensation you deserve.

Types of Cases We Handle
Wrongful death can occur in a variety of ways. At CHASENBOSCOLO, we have handled wrongful death claims resulting from accidents including:
- Accidental Drowning – About 10 people die every day in the United States from accidental drownings, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Property owners are responsible for security gates and fencing to prevent such accidents.
- Bus, Truck, and Auto Accidents – Determining liability can be difficult if there are different owners, operators, and drivers involved. Every case is unique, so it may take an investigation to reconstruct the accident and gather the necessary evidence. If you have lost a loved one in an automobile accident that was someone else’s fault, call us immediately.
- Defective Product Liability – Defects in design, manufacturing, and packaging of products can cause deadly injuries. Since these claims are often against huge corporations, hiring an attorney is key to success.
- Defense Base Accidents – Civilian contractors who work overseas are exposed to some of the same dangers as military troops. The Defense Base Act is a federal law that covers injuries, illnesses, and deaths of civilian workers who are employed overseas on a military base or under contract by the Department of Defense.
- Drug Deaths – Opioid, alcohol, and other drug-related fatalities are on the rise in Maryland, according to the Maryland Department of Health. Families suffer when pharmaceutical industries place profits above people. We can help you go up against the big corporations to compensate your family for your pain and suffering.
- Inadequate Security – Businesses in Maryland have a responsibility to keep their patrons safe on their premises. If a victim is killed as a result of an assault or robbery due to a failure in security, the property owner may be responsible for damages. Lack of lighting, undertrained staff, and insecure gates are examples of inadequate security.
- Nursing Home Abuse – Abuse and neglect in places that tend to the elderly can have tragic consequences. Neglect or abuse can easily be fatal for people of old age with fragile medical conditions. We can help families hold nursing homes accountable for their actions and their negligence if it has led to the death of a loved one.
- Pedestrian Accidents – Motorists who use cell phones while behind the wheel, or drive while drunk or drowsy, can easily kill a pedestrian in a fatal car accident. Careless drivers should be held accountable for their negligence and compensate the victim’s family for their loss.
- Slip and Falls – Falls are the leading cause of injury and death in older adults, according to the CDC. If someone falls and dies in an accident on someone else’s property due to hazardous conditions or because reasonable safety measures weren’t taken, then we can help.
- Workplace Accidents – If your loved one died while at work or performing work-related duties, you may be entitled to death benefits via workers’ compensation insurance. Workers’ compensation is different from a regular personal injury lawsuit, so contact a lawyer to learn how to go about this unique claim.
- Veterans Burial and Survivors Benefits – If you are the survivor of a service member or veteran whose death was service-related, you may be eligible for benefits. Applying for them can be complicated and confusing, but our team knows how the Department of Veterans Affairs operates and can help you receive the benefits that you are owed.
- Violent Crime – If your loved one was killed in an assault or murder, you can sue the perpetrator for damages. It is important to note that your civil claim for compensation is totally separate from a criminal trial, so even if they are found not guilty, you may still succeed in your case.
While these are some of the most common causes of wrongful deaths in Maryland, this list is not exhaustive. If your family member passed away as a result of any incident caused by another person or entity, you may be able to recover compensation with the help of CHASENBOSCOLO.
