Maryland Wrongful Death Attorneys

Also Serving Families in Virginia & Washington DC

The unexpected death of a loved one in an accident can change your life forever. Your family will not only have to deal with the emotional loss, but there may also be serious financial damages that can result from unpaid medical bills, loss of income support, and loss of affection.

If you reside in Maryland, Washington DC, or Virginia, turn to Wilson & Parlett for aggressive legal representation. Our personal injury lawyers have recovered millions of dollars on behalf of spouses and family members who have suffered serious financial damages following the negligent death of a loved one.

Our Approach

Wrongful death cases can be very complex and often require litigation. We thoroughly investigate the claim to determine who may be held liable for causing the accident and death. Depending upon the circumstances, there may be more than one party who must share responsibility for paying compensation to the family or the estate.

Many times, we engage the services of industry experts who can help establish liability. We then determine the full amount of money you are entitled to recover.

Again, this often involves bringing in independent experts to determine the value of lost earnings over an expected lifetime. Once we know how much compensation you are entitled to, we can effectively fight for justice on your behalf.

Client-Focused Representation Against Insurance Companies

At Wilson & Parlett, we represent only the surviving members of the victim's family – not the insurance company. Our Maryland wrongful death attorneys have vast experience handling these matters and have successfully settled or litigated wrongful death claims against many of the major insurance companies in the country.

Our firm is well-known in the insurance industry and enjoys a reputation for skilled and aggressive advocacy on behalf of its clients.

While most wrongful death cases settle in negotiations, we have the professional and financial resources to take cases to court when a reasonable settlement cannot be reached. Our goal is to always deliver fair and prompt compensation, whether by settlement or through litigation.
