Choosing the right Seattle Washington child wrongful death attorney.

Selecting an attorney in a wrongful death case involving a minor child is very important. The attorney should have experience settling or litigating wrongful death cases to verdict. One challenging aspect of a case involving the wrongful death of a child is proving the amount of damages that the parents and the estate may be entitled to receive. Remember that, the calculation of damages may be problematic if the child’s death occurs at a young age and therefore it may be difficult to calculate future lost earnings and the intangible losses sustained by the parents. An experienced and skilled attorney can find very compelling ways to establish these losses so that the insurance company or a jury will agree to pay reasonable and fair compensation.

In my practice, we also use focus groups to help us evaluate wrongful death cases. These  focus groups are made up of individuals who review evidence and listen to testimony about the case. The members of the group are often chosen from voter registration records or other public documents. The idea is to select people we  may find in a jury pool so that we can get a fair evaluation of the case.  A focus group can assist in determining the range of value in a case, and give our attorneys ideas about how to present the case to a jury in trial. Of course, a focus group will never mimic or simulate a real trial so at Davis Law Group, we are cautious about  relying too heavily on the results. But an evaluation like this can often provide enormous assistance to us when preparing for settlement talks or trial.
