Fighting for Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases

Serving Clients Throughout Arizona, Including in the Phoenix Metro Area and the Cities of Glendale, Peoria and Sun City

If you have lost a loved one in a motor vehicle accident or in surgery gone wrong, first of all please know that our nurses and lawyers genuinely sympathize with you during this difficult time. We have devoted our professional lives to helping individuals and families cope with injury and loss.

It is impossible to put a dollar value on the life of your loved one. Wrongful death claims cannot bring back your loved one or ever replace what they meant to you. Rather, the compensation that you may be entitled to recover can help your family move forward and stay afloat financially despite your loss.

We are here to help your family move forward in the best financial position possible under the circumstances. Contact us by phone or e-mail for a free initial consultation.

Smith, Farhart & Hornstein offers a no-obligation initial consultation to surviving family members after a fatal accident. We are available to listen, advise and assist you at a time when you may wonder where to turn and what to do next. Our legal group is here to help you through the many issues that arise in these situations, including:

• Helping you arrange a private autopsy.
• Gathering medical records and seeking answers to your questions of "how" and "why."
• Recommending support groups that can help you through the most challenging phases of the grieving process.
• Arranging for guardianships of children as is necessary.
• Negotiating with medical providers as needed, letting them know that a wrongful death case is pending.
• Beginning an inventory of your financial needs and intangible losses such as, loss of income, burial and funeral costs, loss of consortium (love and companionship), and loss of enjoyment of life.

Getting to Know Your Family is Important to Us

Part of what makes Smith, Farhart & Hornstein so successful in our approach to cases is that we strive to know you and your loved ones. As we listen to you tell us about him or her, show us pictures and describe your loss, we will be better prepared to make a strong case for your compensation when the time comes.

Dealing with negligent parties (such as drunk drivers) and insurance companies is an integral part of our wrongful death and personal injury law practice. We are adept at representing surviving family members through mediation or in court. We advise clients and provide our opinions, but ultimately, the clients themselves decide to accept a settlement offer or continue making a case for greater compensation.
