How Do I Find the Right Wrongful Death Attorney in Arizona?

Lawyer for Fatal Accidents

For people who have ever faced trying to hire an Arizona wrongful death lawyer, they know that it is a very difficult decision to make. This is not just because hiring a lawyer can be complicated. It is not just because so many lawyers say the same things that it's hard to figure out what makes one lawyer different from the next. The reality is that wrongful death cases are tragic almost without exception. First, by definition a wrongful death require the negligent act of somebody else. Well, negligent acts are never planned. The reckless driver never gives forewarning a month before they run a red light. In this way, almost every single family that has ever had to look for a wrongful death lawyer in Arizona or anywhere in the United States has had to do so while trying to deal with incredible grief, an unexpected loss, and everything else going on in their lives.

What is Wrongful Death?

Even the term wrongful death is probably an odd one for so many people looking for a lawyer. The loss of a close loved one - a parent, spouse, and certainly a child - it is always "wrong." Obviously, there had to be some way to communicate the idea of a death and a tragedy for which there was a cause outside of the normal course of things, it was caused by somebody else's negligence. However, when overwhelmed with grief and emotion, even the process of considering searching for somebody who somehow is expertised in "wrongful death" when the person who's looking wishes the whole world could stop while they caught their breath and try to get their life in order must often be a terrible feeling.

Do I Need an Arizona Wrongful Death Attorney?

Also, for many people looking for a wrongful death lawyer looking for a lawyer is about the last thing they want to do. They need to figure out what's going to happen with their kids or their parents. They need to get some direction in their life which has now been completely turned upside down. They need to know what to do about their kids' school, or their mother or father's retirement. They need to figure out how to deal with their own grief. They need to figure out what to do about work, to income, then their home.

And yet, at the same time, in many cases they know they need to hire a wrongful death lawyer. They know somebody else has caused this tragedy. They know that they are in desperate need of guidance and help and oftentimes in desperate need of serious compensation just to overcome part of the loss.

And to further the complicated search, money can never undo the tragedy. Money can certainly help with paying the mortgage, it can help with the cost of getting the best possible grief counselors, or in trying to make life a little bit easier after a tragedy. And yet, there are far more issues presented than just trying to find a lawyer who's destined to law. Can the lawyer help that family who has lost somebody find all of the resources they need? Will a lawyer be honest if the claim will be too painful to bring or not have a good enough chance of success to bring, or will the lawyer only be interested in trying to line his or her own pockets with money?

Why Should I Call The Husband & Wife Law Team?

Unfortunately, there is no formula for the grieving family. At a time that looking for a lawyer seems on the one hand like something that must be done and in the other hand something that nobody wants to do - finding a lawyer is largely about finding the right "fit" for that family. Sure, the lawyer absolutely has to have experience and knowledge in the law. In most cases, they have to have handled wrongful death cases before. Certainly, at least the way we see it, the lawyer must be willing to give honest and straightforward answers and advice. We believe it is far too easy and far too big of a mistake to mislead an already grieving family into believing that they should bring a claim if one should not be brought.

Families who have lost a loved one in a fatal accident are often in such a state of grief that they need to be able to trust that they will get completely honest answers - good or bad - from the attorney they consult with and the attorney they hire. They need to know that the attorney can help their family through all of the different processes and help them be the hub of the wheel to make all the steps necessary in their lives. Even the best wrongful death lawyer still has expertise only in wrongful death. An Arizona wrongful death attorney cannot do the best job of writing a family's new will or handling custody issues, but they must be able to help the grieving family find the right people to be a part of the process.

We certainly have always found it very rewarding and take great pride in the fact that for those families who have suffered these unspeakable tragedies, we not only believe that we are excellent at what we do, we do the best possible job as Arizona personal injury lawyers, that we have repeatedly helped the families who have come to us through every part of the process that we could be of any assistance for.
