Types of Wrongful Death Cases That We Handle

Our attorneys in San Mateo handle any wrongful death case. If you’ve lost a loved one and someone’s negligence contributed, then we will assist you. Some case types that we’re familiar with are:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Tens of thousands of people in the Bay Area pass away because of traffic accidents each year. A countless number of these accidents result from someone’s negligence. If your loved one passed away from injuries suffered in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, then we’ll seek justice from liable parties.

Workplace Accidents

Employers and third parties have a responsibility to keep employees safe. Workers’ compensation may not adequately cover a loved one’s loss. We will take appropriate action on your behalf.

Accidents in Homes and Businesses

Falls and assaults are two types of incidents that can occur on the premises of a business, home, or apartment complex. Homeowners and business owners may be among liable parties when a death happens on their property.

Medical Errors

Wrongful death lawyers from our firm handle medical malpractice cases involving death. These cases can be especially complex, with medical jargon and concepts possibly requiring qualified experts. We will take all necessary measures to put forth a strong case.

Dangerous Products

When defective or dangerous products prove fatal, their manufacturers (and possibly others) may be liable.

These are just some of the case types that Galine, Frye, Fitting & Frangos, LLP handles. If you have lost a loved one under any circumstances possibly involving negligence, complete a free consultation with our team. We may be able to initiate your case.
