Wrongful Death

First Court has evaluated all sorts of death claims. We have helped our clients fairly evaluate cases in which people were killed by battery making machines, trucks, cars, feed grinders, power take offs, flying tent parts, hot water heaters, loads of heavy timber, drowning, suffocation and wood chippers. Each of these cases involves horrific human loss, and typically a jury feels a great deal of sympathy for the survivors.

The tension, of course, is on the liability and causation sides of the equation. Our jurors have proven to be enormously helpful in helping lawyers understand the practical human dynamics which feed into the evaluation of a gruesome death claim.
