North Carolina Wrongful Death Attorney

When a loved one dies, it is possible that the last thing on your mind is holding the negligent party responsible for their actions. However, when someone in your family has died as a result of someone else's negligence or carelessness, a family or estate may file a wrongful death action against the negligent party. At the Law Office of Charles M. Putterman, in Raleigh, North Carolina, I understand that it is a difficult and painful time, and I understand the stress and emotions involved in a wrongful death lawsuit. I have helped clients for more than 25 years in personal injury and wrongful death cases, and I can help you. For more information and to schedule a consultation, contact my office today.

Wrongful death can occur due to any type of accident, including:

• Medical malpractice, such as hospital negligence, and birth injuries
• Nursing home negligence, such as elder abuse and neglect
• Professional malpractice, including doctors and nurses.
• Auto accidents
• Premises accidents (premises liability)
• Defective products

When a child, spouse, daughter, son, or other family member dies as a result of someone else's negligence or carelessness, families may be entitled to recover damages and other compensation for their loss.

Compensation and damages for a wrongful death may include:

• Pre-death pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium (the loss of the companionship and services of a spouse)
• Loss of future income
• Medical expenses

Every wrongful death case is different, and not every case will receive the same compensation.
