After a Louisville wrongful death, families need help to begin recovering

When someone dies as a result of negligence, the family left behind must deal with loss, sorrow, and anger. Not only are they left trying to handle emotional trauma, they must make many decisions about how to move forward in life, especially when outstanding bills, lost income, and insurance claims are involved.

In Kentucky, the law recognizes these hardships for loved ones of wrongful death victims, and allows for financial recovery through a wrongful death claim. This type of claim helps families move forward both financially and emotionally after a tragedy.
