San Jose Wrongful Death Lawyer

Wrongful death cases in many instances go to trial.  This is due to fact that the compensation for damages asked for are often astronomical.  This is only right and fair, as the loss of a loved one certainly can never be replaced by any monetary amount.  However, when facing a life without your loved one, and often the income they provided to the family, it is fair that the responsible party pay at least this amount in damages.  However, there are other damages that can be claimed in wrongful death claims, such as pain and suffering and loss of companionship.  At Shea & Shea, our legal team is skilled in the courtroom environment, and our senior trial attorney, Michael Shea, is a Certified Trial Specialist by the National Board of Trial Advocacy.  What this means to you and your case is that you will be well-represented by a seasoned trial lawyer should the case make it to court without being settled.

These cases are particularly terrible for the families involved, as the death was needless.  In such cases, it is critical that you have powerful legal representation from Shea & Shea, and our personal injury attorney and the legal team will make your case a priority.  We take on only a certain number of cases so as to ensure that we can focus on each case and seek to bring it to a successful conclusion on behalf of the bereaved client.
