Personal Injury
Wrongful Death Attorney
Justice for families who've lost everything
When someone dies due to another's negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm, surviving family members have the right to seek justice. We provide compassionate representation to grieving families while aggressively pursuing accountability.
No amount of money can replace a loved one. But a wrongful death claim can provide financial security for surviving family members, hold the responsible parties accountable, and help prevent similar tragedies. We understand the emotional weight of these cases and handle them with the compassion they deserve.
Kentucky wrongful death claims can be brought by the personal representative of the deceased person's estate on behalf of surviving family members. Damages may include medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. We guide families through this difficult legal process while fighting for full compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about wrongful death attorney cases
Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit in Kentucky?
In Kentucky, wrongful death claims are brought by the personal representative (executor/administrator) of the deceased's estate on behalf of beneficiaries, typically spouse, children, or parents.
What is the statute of limitations for wrongful death in Kentucky?
Kentucky has a one-year statute of limitations for wrongful death claims from the date of death, or two years from the date of the act causing death. Time is critical. Contact an attorney promptly.
What damages can be recovered in a wrongful death case?
Damages include medical and funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, pain and suffering of the deceased before death, and potentially punitive damages.
Can we file a wrongful death claim if there's a criminal case?
Yes. Criminal and civil cases are separate. You can pursue a wrongful death claim regardless of whether criminal charges are filed, and the civil case has a lower burden of proof.
