No amount of money can compensate for the loss of a loved one. A wrongful death claim cannot bring the person that you love back, but it can provide financial security for your family.

Wrongful death is a claim against the person or company legally liable for a death. Under Maine law, the claim must be brought by the personal representative of the estate of the person who died. The personal representative stands in the place of the deceased person and can recover the following damages:

• Pecuniary damages to the family such as lost future earnings
• Medical and hospital expenses
• Funeral expenses
• Damages for the loss of comfort, society, and companionship
• Pain and suffering

Fales and Fales has handled many wrongful death claims. If necessary, we will seek the appointment of a family member as the personal representative. We will provide compassionate and thorough legal representation during this difficult time.

We represent our clients in wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis. We generally advance all expenses in pursuing the claim and do not expect repayment unless there is a recovery. If we recovery nothing, you owe us nothing.
