Now Someone Needs to Answer for the Wrongful Death

That call is one of the most devastating conversations you will ever have: the news that you’ve lost a loved one in a tragic accident. No one expects to be dealing with a wrongful death loss, and it can feel like your whole life is crashing down in that moment.

The situation is so much more difficult when you know that someone’s carelessness, greed, or negligence was the reason that your loved one is gone.

You are left picking up the pieces: trying to plan a funeral, pay the medical bills, and figure out how to move on with your life. One of the most important decisions that you are going to make at this point is to hire an experienced wrongful death attorney who can fight for justice and protect your rights.

Your Fight is Personal to Our Team at Wingman Legal

At Wingman Legal, we are passionate about holding perpetrators liable, especially when corporate negligence is involved. Our founder, Erik Aufderheide, takes it personally because of his experience losing his mother due to corporate negligence.

Erik’s mother took a “natural” supplement produced by Showa Denko and experienced the life-threatening consequences of eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome because the supplements were contaminated.

Erik’s mother suffered for four years: she lost her hair, her skin fell off, and she lost her dignity in the process. Unfortunately, a small settlement came through too late. She was so devastated by her injuries and the lack of justice that she took her own life the week after the settlement was approved.

Due to her death, the liable company paid nothing because she was unmarried and had no minor children. The settlement was lost completely.

Erik was in uniform in pilot training when he learned of his mother’s death. He was shocked to hear that his mother’s life “had no value” based on the law. This tragedy lit a fire in his career, which is why he is so aggressive and passionate about fighting for families’ rights in wrongful death cases.

What You Need to Know About Wrongful Death Cases

Not only are the circumstances of a wrongful death tragic, but these accidents are often caused by negligence and covered up in an attempt to avoid paying a high settlement. Some of the most common wrongful death accidents include:

Car and truck wrecks, often caused by drunk or distracted drivers.
Medical malpractice where patients are harmed by misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or pharmaceutical mistakes.
Workplace fatalities occur because of safety practices that were overlooked.
Dangerous equipment or products without proper warnings or safety features.

When these types of accidents occur, the companies and parties at fault often go silent – and they even try to cover up the evidence. It can feel isolating and scary if you are a victim and your case is being denied or deflected. This is why it’s essential to hire a wrongful death attorney that you can trust.

Our team at Wingman Legal is here to ensure justice, bringing the evidence and pressure that is necessary to take massive legal action.

You Need Closure; The Perpetrator Deserves Consequences

While we can’t bring your loved one back, we can bring the justice and consequences that need to be served after a serious accident. Justice is possible when you are working with the right legal team. At Wingman Legal, we are proactive about proving their guilt and ensuring that liability is proven in order to gain real financial accountability.

Not only is it possible to get compensation for the medical bills and funeral costs, but this settlement might also include future lost income as well as pain and suffering. If a company’s negligence caused you to lose a loved one, then they should pay. Period.
