Every year, more than 90,000 Americans die of unintended injuries. The death of a loved one can turn a family upside down. When a loved one dies due to the negligent acts of another, the misery is compounded.

We at Ressler & Tesh understand that no amount of money can replace a lost family member. However, family members often have a right to bring a legal action to recover for their loss and to hold those responsible to accountability. Though it does not undo the loss by any means, a settlement can help to make sure that the emotional loss is not compounded by financial concerns as well.

In a typical wrongful death action, a family can recover damages for the loss of companionship, consortium, and the potential earnings of the deceased. The estate of the deceased can also recover for the pain and suffering endured by the deceased prior to death. The costs associated with burial or cremation can also be recovered.

We have experienced lawyers to help guide your family through the process. We will hire experts to project lost earnings and establish causation. We will also aid in the assignment of a personal representative who will represent the interests of the deceased. Most importantly, we will insulate you from the pressure tactics of the at-fault insurer.

At Ressler & Tesh we understand how difficult it is to bear the death of a loved one. We pledge to work to make the process as easy to understand and as stress-free as possible.
