Seeking Justice After a Loved One’s Wrongful Death?

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is heartbreaking — and the emotional and financial burden can be overwhelming. At Kobes Legal PLLC, we provide compassionate, skilled representation to families pursuing wrongful death claims. Whether the loss was caused by a car accident, unsafe property, or medical negligence, we’re here to help you hold the responsible party accountable.

You focus on healing — we’ll fight for the justice and compensation your family deserves.

What Is Wrongful Death?

A wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. These tragedies often leave families grieving while also dealing with unexpected financial hardships.

 Fatal Car, Truck, or Motorcycle Accidents

Reckless, distracted, or impaired drivers can cause deadly crashes. We help families pursue justice and compensation for the loss of a loved one in fatal vehicle accidents.

Medical Malpractice or Negligence

Preventable deaths often occur from surgical errors, misdiagnoses, or delayed treatment. We hold medical professionals accountable when negligence results in the tragic loss of life.

Unsafe Premises or Property Conditions

Poorly maintained properties can lead to deadly accidents. We represent families when unsafe stairs, falling objects, or other hazards cause fatal injuries on someone else’s property.

Workplace or Construction Site Accidents

Unsafe work environments and construction sites can lead to fatal injuries. We help families recover compensation when employers or third parties fail to protect workers.

Criminal Acts or Negligent Security

Lack of proper security can result in deadly assaults or shootings. Property owners may be liable when failure to provide protection leads to wrongful death.

Defective Products or Dangerous Drugs

Unsafe products or medications can have fatal consequences. We hold manufacturers accountable when poor design, lack of warnings, or contamination causes the loss of life.

When Can You File a Wrongful Death Claim?

To file a successful wrongful death claim, we must typically prove:

  • A person or entity caused your loved one’s death through negligence or wrongdoing

  • Your family has suffered financial or emotional harm due to the loss

  • You have legal standing to bring the claim (e.g. spouse, parent, child, or estate representative)

  • The claim is filed within the time allowed by state law (statute of limitations)

Even if you’re unsure whether you qualify, we’ll review your case with care and clarity — free of charge.

Examples of Wrongful Death Claims

Wrongful death cases can arise from many tragic situations. We’ve represented families in claims involving:

  • Fatal auto, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents

  • Deadly falls on unsafe property

  • Medical negligence resulting in fatal injury

  • Drowning or near-drowning incidents

  • Construction or industrial site fatalities

  • Criminal acts due to negligent security

  • Defective products or drugs that caused death
