Losing a loved one is devastating. When that loss is caused by someone else's negligence—a drunk driver, a reckless truck company, medical malpractice, or a dangerous property condition—the grief is compounded by anger, confusion, and financial strain. While no amount of money can bring back your loved one, Arizona law allows families to pursue wrongful death claims to recover compensation and hold negligent parties accountable.
Our network includes compassionate wrongful death attorneys who understand the emotional weight of these cases. They handle the legal complexities with sensitivity while aggressively pursuing maximum compensation for funeral costs, lost income, loss of companionship, and more. You focus on healing—we'll fight for justice.
Drunk driving, distracted driving, speeding, and aggressive driving cause thousands of preventable deaths on Phoenix and Peoria roadways each year.
Construction site accidents, industrial injuries, and other workplace fatalities may give rise to wrongful death claims in addition to workers' compensation.
Surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, and hospital negligence can result in preventable deaths.
Drowning accidents, falls from heights, inadequate security leading to assaults—property owners can be held liable when dangerous conditions cause death.
Faulty vehicles, dangerous drugs, defective medical devices, and other product defects can cause fatal injuries.
Elder abuse, medication errors, bedsores, malnutrition, and neglect in Phoenix nursing homes can lead to preventable deaths.
Arizona law specifies who has legal standing to pursue a wrongful death case.
The deceased's husband or wife has the first right to file a wrongful death claim in Arizona.
If there is no surviving spouse, the deceased's children (biological or adopted) can bring a wrongful death action.
When an unmarried adult child or minor child dies, parents have the right to file a wrongful death claim.
If none of the above parties exist, the personal representative of the deceased's estate may file on behalf of other beneficiaries.
Our attorneys fight to recover full compensation for your family's losses, including:
All costs associated with funeral services, burial or cremation, memorial services, and related expenses.
Emergency room treatment, hospital stays, surgeries, and other medical care provided before your loved one passed away.
The income and benefits your loved one would have provided to the family over their expected lifetime, including raises and promotions.
Compensation for the loss of love, companionship, comfort, guidance, and protection your loved one provided.
If your loved one survived for any time after the injury, compensation for their physical pain and emotional distress before death.
In cases involving gross negligence or intentional conduct, Arizona courts may award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer.
