Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is one of the most devastating experiences a family can endure. Beyond the grief, families are often left facing financial uncertainty, unanswered questions, and the overwhelming stress of navigating a legal system they never expected to face. In these difficult moments, you need more than compassion. You need a trusted Greensboro legal team proficient in wrongful death law that will fight to protect your family’s future.

Greensboro Wrongful Death Lawyers Protecting Your Family’s Rights

In wrongful death cases, families may face medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income and support that their loved one once provided. Insurance companies often try to minimize these losses or pressure families into quick settlements that fall far short of what they truly deserve. That’s why having an experienced advocate on your side is so important.

The wrongful death attorneys at Daggett Shuler have decades of experience handling complex claims throughout Greensboro and beyond. We understand both the legal and emotional challenges these cases bring, and we work tirelessly to hold negligent parties accountable while pursuing the maximum compensation available for your family.

Know Your Rights After Losing a Loved One to Negligence

In North Carolina, when a life is lost because of another person’s careless, reckless, or intentional actions, the surviving family members have important legal rights. These rights exist to protect families from being left with the emotional and financial consequences of someone else’s wrongdoing. Understanding these rights can help you make informed decisions during one of the most difficult times of your life.

Right to File a Wrongful Death Claim

Under North Carolina law, the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate (often a close family member) has the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of surviving relatives. This claim allows the family to hold the negligent party accountable in civil court.

Right to Accountability

Beyond financial compensation, surviving family members have the right to demand accountability. A wrongful death claim sends a clear message that negligence and misconduct have consequences, helping prevent similar tragedies from happening to others in the future.

Right to Legal Representation

Families also have the right to hire an attorney who will advocate for them throughout the process. An experienced wrongful death lawyer ensures that deadlines are met, evidence is preserved, and insurance companies or corporations do not take advantage of your grief.

At Daggett Shuler, we make it our mission to protect these rights. We stand by families every step of the way, seeking justice, providing guidance, and fighting for the security your loved one would have wanted for you.

Right to Seek Compensation

Through a wrongful death claim, families may pursue financial recovery for:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Medical costs related to the final injury or illness
  • The deceased’s lost wages and benefits
  • Loss of companionship, guidance, and support
  • Emotional pain and suffering experienced by surviving family members
  • Punitive damages in cases involving egregious or reckless conduct

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Greensboro, NC?

In North Carolina, a wrongful death claim cannot be filed by just anyone in the family. The law requires that the personal representative of the deceased’s estate bring the case on behalf of the surviving family members.

If the deceased had a will, the personal representative is usually the executor named in the will. If there was no will, the court may appoint an administrator, often a surviving spouse, adult child, or close relative, to serve in this role.

The personal representative has the legal authority to act on behalf of the estate. Still, any compensation awarded is for the benefit of surviving family members such as a spouse, children, or parents, depending on who is legally entitled under state law. This ensures that the claim is pursued in an orderly way while protecting the rights of all beneficiaries. Having an experienced wrongful death attorney guide the process can help families navigate the legal system and ensure their loved one’s legacy is honored.
