Pursuing All Available Damages:

    • Lost income and benefits of the deceased

    • Loss of future financial support and inheritance

Navigating Legal Complexities:

  • Wrongful Death Statute: HLG has a deep understanding of North Carolina's wrongful death statute, which governs who can file a claim and what damages are recoverable.

  • Holding Wrongdoers Accountable: HLG is committed to holding negligent parties accountable for their actions and ensuring that justice is served.

  • Providing Closure: While no amount of money can truly compensate for the loss of a loved one, a successful wrongful death claim can provide some measure of closure and financial security for the family.
