Fatal Accidents

We understand how emotionally devastating losing a loved one in an accident can be. We also understand it is extremely difficult to deal with the complexities of a legal claim during the grieving process without the help of an experienced lawyer. 

At Howie, Sacks & Henry, we have the legal expertise to ensure you receive adequate compensation after the untimely loss of a loved one. And we can connect you with counselors to help you and your family during this difficult time.

We treat you like a life, not just another file

Our lawyers will pursue full compensation for the death of your family member, including compensation for loss of care, comfort, guidance and companionship, as well as financial and emotional support. We can also pursue damages for the loss of an “interdependent relationship,” which may have included a lifetime of shared housework, meal preparation and child-rearing responsibilities.

Our lawyers have handled wrongful death claims for surviving spouses, children, grandchildren, grandparents and siblings. We never settle for anything less than what’s needed for our clients to be well taken care of following the death of a loved one.
