FAQS
Do I need a lawyer to file a wrongful death claim?
Yes. These cases involve legal complexities and insurance disputes. An experienced attorney ensures your rights are protected and helps maximize compensation.
How is wrongful death different from criminal homicide?
Wrongful death is a civil case seeking financial compensation. Criminal charges are filed by the state and focus on punishment. You can pursue a civil claim even if no criminal charges are filed.
Can more than one family member file a claim?
No. Arkansas law requires that one wrongful death claim be filed on behalf of all eligible beneficiaries by the estate’s representative.
"I believe that if the dominant themes of a law firm are the vigorous pursuit of the best interests of the clients, dedication to excellence, a strict sense of ethics, and the development of a great working atmosphere, success takes care of itself."
