Our Boise Wrongful Death Lawyers Waive Upfront Fees, Costs, and Attorney’s Fees

The team at Sargent Law Firm believes that wrongful death claimants shouldn’t feel burdened by the financial obligations that come with hiring a lawyer. So, for the past decade, we’ve offered our services on a contingency-fee basis. Here, you don’t pay anything out of pocket to secure a lawyer’s assistance. We draw our fees from your settlement, never your pocket. That way, you can rest assured that we’re just as incentivized as you are to recover compensation. That’s because if there’s no settlement to draw our fees, we don’t get paid.

Trust Our Boise Wrongful Death Lawyers to Seek Fair Compensation

Financial recovery can’t turn back time and prevent your loved one’s fatal accident. Yet, it can offer the financial resources needed for starting this new chapter in your life. Your compensable damages largely depend on your situation, and our team accounts for any case-specific factors when calculating your losses.

An out-of-court settlement or jury verdict could offer reimbursement for:

  • Loss of the decedent’s financial support
  • Loss of services
  • End-of-life medical expenses, such as hospice
  • Funeral expenses
  • Loss of consortium
  • The decedent’s pain and suffering

There could be other recoverable losses in your claim than those listed here. Rest assured, our wrongful death attorneys will evaluate your case from many angles, fighting for everything you need to take back control of your life and account for your loved one’s passing.

Our Wrongful Death Lawyers Have Recovered Millions for Grieving Families

Our case results illustrate our commitment to building strong wrongful death cases in the aftermath of others’ negligence. Some of these outcomes include:

  • $6 million. We represented a teenager in a fatal premises liability case. This case required years of litigation, but in the end, we secured both a court award and compensation from the liable homeowners insurance policy.
  • $5.8 million. Initially, the liable insurance company offered $2 million for our client’s wrongful death case. Yet, with our advocacy, we secured a settlement that was more than twice the original amount.
  • $4.2 million. A drunk driving accident claimed the life of our client’s unborn child. Despite the concurrent criminal case against the defendant, we secured a judgment through a civil action.

These case results are not meant to reflect the outcome of your own case.

Pursuing a Wrongful Death Case: What to Know

The crux of your wrongful death case involves showing that because of another party’s careless, reckless, or intentional actions, your loved one suffered a fatal injury. Specifically, a wrongful death claim in Boise:

  • Seeks compensation for the survivors’ loss of their loved one, including financial support, services, companionship, grief, and pain and suffering.
  • Acts to hold the liable party financially accountable for negligence or misconduct leading to the death.
  • Requires proving that a wrongful act (like negligence) led to the decedent’s passing and family’s subsequent damages.

Throughout our partnership, you can expect your wrongful death attorney from Sargent Law Firm to explain your legal rights, options, and next steps. While you don’t have to understand everything about the claims process, our team offers the knowledge you need to make informed decisions. We’re by your side each step of your wrongful death case, aiming to hold the liable party accountable for your past, present, and future losses.

Wrongful Death Cases Can Arise From Many Events

Sargent Law Firm’s attorneys handle a host of cases as they relate to both personal injury and wrongful death. We aim to offer client-focused care to individuals who have lost family members to fatal:

  • Dog bites
  • Car accidents
  • Truck collisions
  • Instances of nursing home abuse and neglect
  • Motorcycle crashes
  • Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
  • Workplace accidents
  • Slips and falls

Filing a Wrongful Death Lawsuit Comes with a Deadline

Idaho Statutes § 5-219 outlines the deadline for wrongful death lawsuits. You generally have two years to initiate legal action. Specifically, the two-year statute of limitations starts from the date of your loved one’s passing, not the date of their accident. For example, if your loved one was on life support for two years following a serious collision, the two-year filing window starts when they pass away.

We believe that it’s a good idea to consult our team as soon as possible after your loved one’s passing. That way, we can set your case in motion and get started gathering time-sensitive evidence before it becomes unavailable. Our firm intends to make this period as stress-free as possible, empowering you to recover from this traumatic event. Learn more during a complimentary consultation when you dial 844-SARGENT.

Who Can File a Boise Wrongful Death Claim or Lawsuit?

In Idaho, the following parties can file a wrongful death lawsuit seeking damages:

  • Surviving spouse: The spouse of the decedent has the primary right to file a claim. Unmarried partners generally do not have legal standing unless other circumstances exist.
  • Children: If there is no surviving spouse, the children of the deceased (biological or adopted) have the right to file a suit.
  • Parents: If there is no surviving spouse or children, the victim’s parent(s) can file the suit.

In some cases where there is no living spouse, children, or parents, the decedent’s grandparent, sibling, or grandchild could file a wrongful death lawsuit. The wrongful death statute includes “heirs” language that may allow more distant relatives legal grounds to sue with some limitations.

The law surrounding who can file a wrongful death case can quickly get confusing—especially if you try to interpret legal jargon on your own. However, when you partner with Sargent Law Firm, you don’t have to worry about any of this. We clearly explain your options and legal standing from the very beginning, ensuring you fully understand your steps moving forward.

How Our Boise Wrongful Death Lawyers Pursue Compensation

As noted, a successful wrongful death case requires our team to prove that another party’s negligence caused your loved one’s passing, and now, they should pay for your various economic and non-economic losses.

Building a successful claim requires our team to gather compelling evidence that supports various aspects of your case. For instance, we’ll need receipts, bills, and invoices to accurately calculate your out-of-pocket expenses. We’ll also need evidence that shows how the fatal accident happened, and this information could include security camera footage, eyewitness testimony, and the accident report (if one exists).

In addition to handling your case’s evidence-gathering, our legal team:

Manages All Case-Related Communications and Administrative Tasks

The last thing you want is to talk to a claims adjuster following a loved one’s passing. You also don’t want to deal with requesting information from healthcare providers, consulting with lifecare planners, or otherwise handling anything the claims process entails.

With Sargent Law Firm, you don’t have to. We take care of all case-related phone calls, text messages, and emails. We also handle your case’s paperwork, filing, and other legal obligations. This gives you much-needed time and space to process your loved one’s passing and focus on what matters most in your life.

Calculates What Constitutes a Fair Settlement

Right now, you might have a rough idea of what your damages are worth. Our team ensures that no damage is unaccounted for in your injury claim. We assess the circumstances of your loved one’s passing to arrive at a fair settlement value. Calculations also account for your personal pain and suffering, as well as the decedent’s role in your life. Sargent Law Firm wants to recover everything your family needs to heal from this grievous event.

Negotiates for Fair Compensation

We’re proud to share that since our founding in 2011, we’ve resolved most wrongful death cases through negotiated settlements. Many of our clients never see the inside of a courtroom and still recover the damages they need. During negotiations, we rely on evidence, our knowledge of state law, and our tailor-made legal strategies to secure fair outcomes.

Files Your Lawsuit

Will your wrongful death case go to court? Maybe. If so, it’s nothing to worry about. Our team handles cross-examinations, depositions, and everything involved with securing a jury verdict. Sargent Law Firm’s staff is intimately acquainted with the Boise civil court system, and we’re on a first-name basis with many clerks and legal professionals. You can rest assured that your case is getting the attention it deserves when you partner with our team.
