Representing Families in Southern Mississippi
Wrongful death cases are about more than money. They are also about justice. Grieving family members want to hold wrongdoers accountable for a death that shouldn't have happened.
I am attorney Ray Price. From my law office in Hattiesburg, I represent people in southern Mississippi and the Mississippi Gulf Coast who have lost family members as a result of dangerous products, car accidents, 18-wheeler accidents, railroad accidents, workplace accidents, and other types of negligence.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
In a wrongful death case, the first issue to resolve is which family members are entitled to seek compensation. The issue can be very complex, especially in cases that involve divorce and blended families.
The Mississippi Supreme Court recently changed the law that applies to wrongful death cases. However, the law is not crystal clear and the issue of who can file suit is often subject to litigation. I offer a free initial consultation to discuss whether you may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
In Mississippi, you will receive authority to file a lawsuit from the chancery court, which handles wills and estates.
What Compensation Can I Receive in a Wrongful Death Case?
You are entitled to seek compensation for both economic and noneconomic damages resulting from the wrongful death. Examples include:
- Medical expenses incurred prior to death
- Any pain or suffering your loved one may have experienced prior to death
- Funeral expenses
- Loss of your family member's future earnings
- Loss of love, companionship and parental guidance
