In Virginia, the law allows family members, next of kin and the administrator of the estate of the deceased to bring wrongful death claims. These cases are complex. To be successful, a lawyer must be skilled at investigating and analyzing the facts of a case and be attuned to prevailing attitudes within the local legal system.
Attorney Harry F. Bosen Jr. will find out how the death happened, who caused it and whether the deceased was to any degree negligent. Virginia is a "contributory negligence state." This means, if the deceased was even 1 percent to blame, a wrongful death claim may be barred.
What is the value of a person's life? To determine that, our law firm uses economists, as necessary, to calculate the loss of income for the lifetime that was cut short. We turn to other experts to assess damages for loss of consortium for the surviving spouse and loss of companionship for the surviving children.
