Seeking Full Compensation for Families

While no amount of compensation can replace a loved one or ease the grief of their loss, it can help relieve the financial burdens that often come in the wake of a wrongful death. Medical bills, funeral expenses, and loss of income take a further toll on surviving family members as they also manage the emotional impact of sudden loss. By securing compensation, those affected can recover some of the damages caused by the responsible party.

Damages may include:

  • Medical expenses related to the final care of the deceased
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Loss of income and financial support the deceased would have provided
  • Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence or intentional harm
  • Pain and suffering for the decedent as well as the survivors
  • Bereavement and grieving
  • Loss of companionship and consortium

Our wrongful death lawyers in Kansas City will work to explore all potential avenues of compensation, so that families can focus on healing.

Premier Wrongful Death Lawyers in Kansas City

For 40 years, Bartimus Frickleton Robertson Rader has advocated for the families of people whose deaths were caused by the carelessness of others.

Wrongful death claims arise from situations where negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm results in the untimely death of an individual. In cases of wrongful death, the surviving family members may experience emotional and financial burdens, including the loss of their loved one’s income and financial support. The law provides a way for those families to hold responsible parties accountable and secure the financial support they need to move forward after a tragedy.

Most states – including Kansas and Missouri – have wrongful death statutes that allow surviving relatives to seek damages from responsible parties and their insurance companies. These lawsuits can pursue damages representing the victim’s lost income and funeral and medical expenses, as well as more generalized compensation for the loss of love and companionship.

At Bartimus Frickleton Robertson Rader, our experienced wrongful death lawyers in Kansas City understand the difficulty revolving around these complex cases and approach them with the care and attention they deserve. Our team is dedicated to easing the burden on grieving families while aggressively pursuing justice on their behalf.
