Damages We Seek for Surviving Families with a Baltimore Wrongful Death Lawyer
We know that nothing can atone for the unexpected loss of a family member. We also know the short- and long-term financial havoc a sudden loss can create. Our legal team will carefully assess how much you can recover in a wrongful death claim.
Damages we may request in a wrongful death claim include:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of your loved one’s financial support
- Loss of your loved one’s domestic support
- Mental and emotional pain and suffering
- Loss of society, care, and companionship
We will clarify which family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit and recover damages per Maryland law. This usually includes the decedent’s parents, spouse, children, and possibly other family members who were financially dependent on the decedent. The best way to understand your rights is with a free evaluation of your case.
Avoid a Potentially Costly Delay in Filing Your Family’s Baltimore Wrongful Death Lawsuit
The wrongful death statute of limitations in Maryland is generally three years from the date of your loved one’s passing, according to Md. Code Ann., Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 3-904. If the filing deadline expires, your wrongful death action will be dismissed.
The filing deadline can toll, extend, or otherwise fluctuate, making it difficult to assess or comply with on your own. Our wrongful death attorney will help you understand and accurately interpret the applicable statute of limitations.

We Will Establish the Legally Required Components of Negligence
When we accept your case, we want to hear about your case from you, so we take time to listen to your family’s story with kindness and compassion. To prove your right to wrongful death damages, we establish the elements of negligence, including:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Damages
Our investigation includes building a comprehensive case file that can steer your case toward a settlement versus a potentially lengthy trial. Evidence we gather to support your claim will include:
- The police report or accident report
- Accident reconstruction reports
- The decedent’s death certificate
- Photos and video of the accident
- Scientific and forensic evidence
- Lay and expert witness statements
- Deposition and discovery information
We will not tax you or your family with this potentially overwhelming and emotionally charged task. In addition to compiling evidence, we submit it to the at-fault party and their representatives on your behalf.
