Wrongful Death Attorneys Serving Jacksonville And All Of Eastern North Carolina
A claim for wrongful death occurs when a person has died as a result of someone’s negligence. The damages in a wrongful death action are recovered by the administrator of the deceased person’s estate and are distributed in accordance with North Carolina law. The most difficult question is: How does one determine the value of the life that was lost? This is a question that should not be answered without the input of an experienced attorney.
