How do Wrongful Death Lawyers Prove a Wrongful Death Case?
One of the very first things a wrongful death lawyer from our firm will do is investigate your case, looking for evidence of the other party’s negligence and liability. Evidence in a wrongful death case can come in many forms, such as:
- A police report
- Traffic camera footage of an accident
- Security camera or dashcam footage
- A witness’s cell phone photos of an accident scene
- Forensic evidence
- A bus’s black box data
You can be sure your lawyer will seek evidence to show the other party’s negligence and liability in your case. However, to actually establish negligence and liability, your lawyer will also have to show:
- The other party had a duty of care (a responsibility to act carefully in order to prevent harm to your loved one).
- The other party violated their duty of care (by acting very irresponsibly and recklessly).
- The other party’s actions led to the incident.
- Your family incurred damages as a result.
Building a case with evidence and establishing liability are difficult things to do, so you may want to leave them to one of our Jericho wrongful death attorneys. Your attorney will do everything they can, so you can feel justice has been achieved in your case.

How Will My Wrongful Death Lawyer Resolve My Wrongful Death Case?
Your lawyer will handle your case with care and sensitivity and resolve your case with determination and assertiveness. Your lawyer should be able to resolve your case with the other party’s insurer and attorney, but if not, when indicated, your lawyer won’t hesitate to take your case before a judge and resolve your case in court.
Once your lawyer has prepared your case, you and your lawyer may choose to present it to the other party instead of taking it to court immediately. The other party may be willing to negotiate an appropriate settlement, and settlement negotiations could be more attractive for you, in terms of winning an excellent outcome in a shorter time than taking your case to court. To persuade the other party to negotiate, your lawyer is ready, willing, and able to take them to court.
If negotiations fail, your lawyer can hire the appropriate experts to corroborate your case, and then your lawyer can take the other party to court. There, your lawyer will fight for an appropriate verdict from the jury with a judge presiding.
