Aggressive Representation For Wrongful Death Claims
Last updated on April 28, 2025
When a loved one’s life is cut short due to someone else’s careless actions, Nebraska law provides a path for family members to seek accountability and compensation. The state allows specific family members to file wrongful death claims only through the correct legal channels.
Monzón, Guerra & Chipman, Attorneys At Law, has fought for Nebraska families’ rights since 1994. Having litigated hundreds of cases in state and federal courts, our Lincoln attorneys know how to build compelling wrongful death claims while treating your family with the respect and dignity they deserve.
What Is A Wrongful Death?
Wrongful death occurs when someone’s careless, reckless or intentional actions lead to another person’s death. These cases demand a thorough legal intervention to establish liability.
A successful claim may cover:
- Medical expenses before death
- Funeral and burial costs
- Lost future income and benefits
- Loss of companionship and guidance
- Mental anguish and emotional suffering
- Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence
While no amount of compensation can truly make up for your loss, wrongful death compensation can offer financial relief and a sense of closure during an incredibly difficult time.
Vehicle-Related Wrongful Death Compensation
Fatalities can occur in various circumstances, from assaults and dog attacks to slips and falls, but motor vehicle crashes are particularly devastating. Our firm has extensive experience handling wrongful death claims arising from:
- Distracted driving accidents
- Drunk driving collisions
- Commercial truck crashes
- Motorcycle accidents
- Construction site incidents
Even though motor vehicle accidents often involve complex legal factors, our trial-tested lawyers know how to investigate these crashes to establish liability.
Why You Need A Wrongful Death Attorney

- Handle all communication with insurance companies
- Thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your loved one’s death
- Document all current and future financial impacts
- Build a compelling case for maximum compensation
- Take your case to trial if necessary to achieve justice
