After losing a loved one, dealing with grief could be very difficult. Some people never fully recover, and their lives are changed for the worse. Those who do continue with their lives normally never even think about the possibility that their loved one’s death could have been caused by someone else’s negligent actions.
But what if that is the case? What if your loved one was a victim of someone else’s reckless behavior, which resulted in your loved one’s death? If that is the case, you may have the right to file a wrongful death claim against the party responsible for causing the accident.

The Importance of Having an Attorney
In addition to everything mentioned previously, an attorney can help you deal with your:
- Depression
- Guilt
- Denial
- Anger
- Insomnia
- Social withdrawal
Believe it or not, but your attorney could recommend a few things that you can do to cope with your loss or recommend the “right person” to visit and talk to.

The Statute of Limitations
Every state has a time limit within which you have to file a claim. In Missouri, you have three years from the death of your loved one to file a claim. It sounds like a lot of time, but in reality, it is not. Usually, people spend about 4 to 6 months of griefing. After that, they focus on their work and families, and before you know it, they have either lost interest in filing a claim or have no energy nor strength to cope with the legal difficulties.
This is where our Kansas City Wrongful Death Attorneys come into play. With their expertise and knowledge, you could focus on your family and your work and rest assured that your case is in the right hands. They will take care of everything for you, and ensure that you are given the highest compensation possible for your loss.
