Wrongful Death

The Springfield wrongful death lawyers at VanDerGinst Law, P.C. are committed to pursuing compensation for the families of people who have been needlessly killed by another person's actions or negligence. As a civil action in the legal system, convicting someone of wrongful death allows the decedent's survivors to receive monetary compensation for their loss. The amount of damages awarded is calculated by a Springfield wrongful death attorney by taking the loss of companionship, lost wages, and emotional pain of the plaintiff into account.

For compensation to be ordered by a court of law, it must be proven that the defendant's actions caused the decedent's death. A Springfield wrongful death case can help a family find closure after such a tragic event and make it possible to start rebuilding their lives.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death, that seems to have been someone else's fault, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation. The initial consultation is free of charge. If we agree to handle your injury case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if, and when, there is a money recovery for you. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. So please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
