Dempsey & Kingsland, P.C. has handled a wide array of wrongful death cases stemming from medical malpractice, nursing home negligence, motor vehicle accidents or dangerous medical products. We have recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements on behalf of survivors, serving families in Kansas City and surrounding counties of Missouri and Kansas.
Experienced Wrongful Death Attorneys
The fact that your loved one died does not mean the negligent party's insurance company will automatically pay. Trial lawyers Leland Dempsey and Robert Kingsland bring 50 years of focused experience. We conduct a prompt and thorough investigation, hiring experts as necessary to satisfy a jury or insurance adjuster that the doctor, hospital, drug manufacturer or driver is liable.
Even where fault is established, our challenge is to find insurance coverage and secure the policy limits. We again hire experts and work all angles to maximize both economic and non-economic damages:
- Funeral and burial costs
- Lost future earnings (including projected earnings of a child who died)
- Loss of services (household work, child care, tutoring)
- Loss of companionship, counsel, love and support
- Pain and suffering of the victim prior to death
There is no price on a life, yet there is a tangible financial loss and a profound emotional void. Dempsey & Kingsland works closely with family members to illustrate those lost contributions in a wrongful death lawsuit.
Contact our Kansas City law office today for a free case evaluation if you lost a family member in a fatal car accident or from complications of medical care. We do not take any attorney fees unless we are successful in recovering damages.
