Wrongful Death

Salem, Massachusetts Insurance Wrongful Death Attorneys

There is nothing more tragic than the loss of a family member through the negligence or carelessness of another.  In Massachusetts, the untimely death of another due to negligence is known as wrongful death.  Wrongful death causes severe emotional and financial hardship for family members left behind.  When investigating the circumstances surrounding a wrongful death, it is imperative to proceed with swiftness and precision.

The law firm of Mazow|McCullough, PC has represented numerous families who have suffered from the wrongful death of loved ones.  Robert Mazow and Kevin McCullough are fathers of eight children between them and can empathize with the loss of a child, spouse, parent or sibling.

Wrongful death can be caused by almost any kind of negligent act, including a car accident or collision, drowning, slip and fall, medical malpractice, construction site accident, defective product, explosion, or bike accident.  If the wrongful death arises from gross negligence or reckless conduct, Massachusetts allows for the imposition of punitive damages.

The attorneys at Mazow|McCullough, PC are highly sensitive to the emotional pain of parents who have lost a child in a fatal accident.  We represent parents and families who lose children ranging in age from newborn to adult.  We understand the pain that accompanies the loss of a child – no matter what the child’s age.  If your child was killed in a fatal accident caused by someone’s recklessness or negligence, we can help.
Drunk drivers cause thousands of deaths every year. Ironically, in many cases, the drunk driver survives the accident, while their victim often sustains serious or fatal injuries. If you have lost a family member to a drunk driver, you should seek counsel from our experienced attorneys regarding your options. We can help you attain compensation and closure.

Runners, bicyclists and children crossing the street or riding in designated areas may suffer fatal injuries when they are struck by a car. Automobile drivers will sometimes fail to use proper care and observation when driving. Fatigue, cell phones, driving impaired and simply not paying attention are all leading causes of pedestrian and bicycle accidents.

Our wrongful death auto accident lawyers provide effective and compassionate representation in cases where a family member has been killed in a car accident, including head-on collisions, drunk driving accidents, truck-car wrecks, rear-end auto accidents and other motor vehicle crashes.

We pursue compensation for the family members of people killed in truck accidents, including semi rollovers, jackknife accidents, roadway crossovers, tractor trailer collisions, and other truck crashes on Massachusetts’ roadways and highways.
In motorcycle death cases, our wrongful death lawyers work hard to determine the cause of the motorcycle accident and establish the liability of the driver of the other vehicle. We hold negligent drivers responsible when they cause the death of a bike rider. We have many experts we work with to establish the facts of the accident.
When a family member dies because of the negligence of a doctor or nursing home worker, the loss is devastating. When a nursing facility or medical professional who was supposed to take care of a family member ultimately causes harm, you may feel betrayed and angry. We pursue compensation for needless deaths caused by medical mistakes and nursing home abuse and neglect through nursing home and medical malpractice claims and litigation.
