Wrongful Death Attorney

Losing a loved one unexpectedly is one of the most devastating experiences a family can face. When that loss was caused by another party’s negligence, recklessness, or wrongful actions, surviving family members may have the right to pursue compensation through a wrongful death claim. At The Law Office of Zayed Al-Sayyed, we provide aggressive, compassionate representation for families throughout Phoenix and Arizona during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Our firm understands that no financial recovery can replace your loved one. However, pursuing a wrongful death claim can help ease the financial burden left behind while also holding negligent parties accountable for their actions. Arizona law allows certain surviving family members to seek compensation when a fatal accident or injury could have supported a personal injury claim had the victim survived.

If you lost a spouse, parent, child, or loved one because of someone else’s negligence, contact our Phoenix wrongful death attorney today for a free consultation.

Under Arizona law, wrongful death occurs when a person dies because another party acted negligently, recklessly, or intentionally. Wrongful death claims commonly arise from accidents and incidents that could have resulted in a personal injury lawsuit if the victim had survived.

Common causes of wrongful death claims include:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Drunk driving accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Workplace accidents
• Construction accidents
• Dangerous property conditions
• Defective products
• Dog attacks

At The Law Office of Zayed Al-Sayyed, we thoroughly investigate every wrongful death case to determine how the accident occurred, identify liable parties, and pursue maximum compensation for surviving family members.

Arizona law limits who may file a wrongful death claim. Eligible parties generally include:

• The surviving spouse
• Children of the deceased
• Parents or legal guardians
• The personal representative of the estate

In some situations, the estate representative may pursue the claim on behalf of surviving family members.

Our Phoenix wrongful death attorney can evaluate your situation and explain your legal rights during a free consultation.

Compensation Available in a Wrongful Death Claim

Wrongful death lawsuits may provide compensation for both economic and non-economic damages suffered by surviving loved ones. Depending on the circumstances of the case, damages may include:

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Medical bills related to the final injury
• Loss of future income and financial support
• Loss of companionship
• Loss of parental guidance
• Emotional suffering
• Loss of household services
• Future financial losses

In cases involving gross negligence or reckless misconduct, punitive damages may also be available.

Insurance companies often attempt to minimize wrongful death claims or pressure families into accepting low settlement offers. Our law firm aggressively advocates for families and fights for the full compensation they deserve.

Wrongful death cases are often complex and require immediate investigation. Evidence can disappear quickly, witnesses’ memories may fade, and insurance companies may begin building defenses immediately after the accident.

When you hire our firm, we may:

• Conduct a thorough investigation
• Obtain accident and police reports
• Preserve evidence and surveillance footage
• Interview witnesses
• Work with medical and financial experts
• Calculate future financial damages
• Negotiate aggressively with insurance companies
• Take your case to trial if necessary
