We are skilled in advocating on behalf of the deceased’s family, in all types of accidents and catastrophes. Often, these cases demand medical and technical expertise in addition to legal expertise, and we meet those demands.

Smith Haughey works to prove the liability that caused the death, through interviewing those involved, reviewing and gathering evidence and working with experts to build the case. It is especially important to retain a lawyer when it comes to accurately calculating the medical damages, lost income, funeral costs, and evaluating the impacts to any estate that is left behind. Fair compensation calculations are crucial.

We have successfully represented people who have lost a family member in many types of cases, including:

• Vehicular accidents, including: 
  • Automobile and trucking accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Airplane crashes
  • Boating accidents

• Premises liability accidents, including:
  • Carbon monoxide poisoning, natural gas and other toxic exposures
  • Burn cases and explosions
  • Landlord liability

• Product liability claims and defective machine accidents
• Worksite accidents

Smith Haughey is here to assist in lessening the stress on a family, managing the crisis when it occurs. We will take appropriate action to preserve evidence, and implement the process of pursuing a just recovery.

When we accept your case, we will usually enact a contingent fee arrangement—meaning we will not get paid until you do. In short, for every case we accept, we believe in that case and we put everything we have towards fighting for you.
