Wrongful Death

Compassionate, determined wrongful death representation in Southeast Missouri

Overview

Holding the responsible party accountable when a family loses someone

Few cases demand more care than a wrongful death claim. You are grieving while also facing medical bills, funeral costs, and an uncertain future — and the people responsible rarely make it easy. At Walsh Law Firm we handle these cases with the sensitivity your family deserves and the resolve the situation demands.

Stephen Walsh has tried wrongful death cases arising from many causes, including drunk-driving crashes and medical malpractice. No amount of money replaces a loved one, but a well-prepared case can help secure the future your family member would have wanted for their spouse and children.

Missouri law lets surviving family members recover medical and funeral expenses, the loss of the deceased's future earnings and benefits, the conscious pain and suffering they endured, and the loss of care, companionship, and guidance a spouse or child suffers. We build the case by re-creating your loved one's life so a jury understands the full weight of the loss.

What Missouri lets your family recover

Medical and funeral expenses, the income and benefits your loved one would have provided, their conscious pain and suffering, and the loss of care, companionship, and guidance a spouse or child suffers. We document each so nothing is left on the table.
