Missouri Wrongful Death Cases

Working with an Experienced Lawyer

Missouri accidental death attorneys at the Hershewe Law Firm, P.C. of Joplin are experienced in investigating, preparing, fighting and winning wrongful accidental death cases for families.

Why is experience important?

Accidents are caused by complicated chains of cause and effect. Missouri wrongful death law statutes are strict and complex. Law is influenced by every case; it is important to keep abreast of changing law and attitudes in the court. However, the most important thing an experienced wrongful death attorney can offer is deep understanding of the emotional and financial turmoil created by wrongful accidental deaths.

Wrongful death lawsuits are brought because, in addition to injuring the person who died, a wrongful death also injures the people who loved and depended upon the deceased. In a wrongful death accident, a person whose life was valued, a person who had an important place in a family is killed through:

• A negligent or careless act, such as careless or drunken driving;
• A reckless or negligent act, such as poor maintenance, shoddy manufacturing or failure to warn; or
• An intentional act such as a deliberate murder.

The Hershewe Law Firm, P.C., has seen how wrongful deaths hurt those who are left to carry on diminished lives. We know that when a person is severely injured or loses a loved in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongful conduct, the last thing they want to do is go to court. But the Hershewe wrongful death attorneys know that sometimes a legal fight is necessary, not just to provide for a family, but to right wrongs and to prevent future injuries.

The Hershewe Law Firm, P.C, has a well-earned reputation as tireless advocates for injured people, in Joplin, Missouri, throughout the three state area of Iowa, Kansas and Arkansas, and across the country. We help survivors make sense of an accidental death, pick up the pieces from the tragedy and move forward.

It takes experience to know where to look and how to find the answers in an accidental injury or death. It takes experience to fight for justice when a person has been wrongfully killed. It takes experience to understand the pain and grief a catastrophic injury or wrongful death causes. It takes experience to give survivors the support and counsel they deserve.
