Our Attorneys Seek Justice After Your Loss

Have you lost someone you love in an avoidable accident? If you lose a beloved family member in an avoidable accident or due to another’s negligence, you have our deepest sympathies. You also have our determination to help you get the justice your loved one deserves. Our Sturgis, SD wrongful death lawyer can help you file a lawsuit for damages against the person or entity responsible for the death of your loved one. We know that no amount of money can bring back the person you love or ease your pain. Still, in many cases, a civil suit may be the only avenue to achieve justice, holding the at-fault party accountable and getting their misdeeds onto the public record.

At The Law Offices of Clayborne, Loos & Sabers LLP, we advocate for the rights of families like yours, people who have been harmed because someone else failed to take the proper care for their safety. We bring a deep knowledge of South Dakota to our law and decades of combined experience to bear on your behalf. But, you have to act fast, as the deadline for filing a suit is short. Please contact us today for a free consultation.

Understanding The Legal Concept Of A Wrongful Death

Not every accidental death reaches the legal threshold of a wrongful death. Whether the deceased passed away due to another party’s negligence is the difference between a wrongful death, in which another party can be held liable for the surviving family members’ damages, and a simple tragic accident.

Negligence is a four-part concept determining whether one party is liable for the harm caused to another. You may have a wrongful death claim if:

  • Another person or entity (like a consumer products company) had a responsibility to keep your loved one safe

  • They failed in their duty, through oversight, carelessness, or overt malice

  • Your loved one passed away as a result

  • Your family suffered financial losses due to your loved one’s death

 If you believe that your loved one would have not been harmed but for the actions of another party, from a drunk driver to a national manufacturer of dangerous drugs, then you likely have a case to demand compensation for the loss of financial contribution your loved one provided to your family, as well as your non-material losses, like emotional trauma and loss of guidance.

Types Of Wrongful Death Cases Our Firm Handles

Wrongful death can occur in many types of situations. Our Sturgis wrongful death lawyer has the experience to handle proving liability in cases like:

  • Car and motorcycle collisions, including drunk driving accidents

  • Dangerous drugs

  • Contaminated food, drink, or other consumer product

  • Malfunctioning or defective products (from exploding smartphones to cars)

  • Assault or manslaughter

  • Slip-and-fall, or falls from heights

  • Construction site accident

  • Workplace injuries or occupational diseases

  • Medical malpractice, including birth injuries

This isn’t an exhaustive list of ways that someone may suffer a wrongful death. If you believe you have a case, we invite you to contact The Law Offices of Clayborne, Loos & Sabers LLP for a free case review with our Sturgis wrongful death lawyer.
