Effective, Caring Legal Help in Wrongful Death Cases
The untimely death of a loved one is always painful. The grief can be even more difficult to bear if the person died a wrongful death — one caused by someone else's negligence, carelessness or reckless behaviour.
The lawyers of Reybroek Barristers in Toronto represent the survivors of people who died a wrongful death. Whether your loved one died in a fatal car accident, a violent assault, an accident caused by a dangerous property condition or owing to any other cause, our lawyers will review your case at no charge and explain your rights and options.
We recognize that money can never fully compensate you for your loss. No amount of money can right the wrong done to your family member. However, financial compensation is the only remedy the law allows.
In many cases, family members need to pursue a wrongful death claim in order to survive financially. Legal action may also help prevent others from suffering a similar fatality by encouraging more responsible behaviour by individuals and companies.
Assessing the Damages
In Ontario, surviving family members have the right to be compensated for the loss of their loved one's financial support as well as the loss of his or her guidance, care and companionship. Funeral expenses and certain other expenses are also compensable. Spouses, children, parents, grandparents and siblings may be able to collect damages.
Each case is different and requires a careful assessment by a lawyer experienced in this area of law. Our law firm has the legal knowledge, skill and experience required to help you during this difficult time. Please contact our office in Toronto to arrange a free initial consultation.
