wrongful death cases | attorneys in Butler County, Missouri

Among the most sensitive and complex cases to handle are those cases involving wrongful death. Dealing with a family's grief and loss is a challenge for the most experienced trial lawyer. Steve Walsh has successfully handled wrongful death cases arising from numerous causes such as drunk driving accidents and medical malpractice. Each case must be handled with the utmost sensitivity to the needs and desires of the surviving family members. While no amount of compensation can ever replace a loved one, the successful prosecution of a wrongful death case can help fulfill the dreams of the deceased for his or her spouse and children.

In a wrongful death action, you are entitled to recover the expenses for medical care and treatment of the deceased's last injury or illness, as well as the funeral expenses. In addition, the loss of the deceased's anticipated future earnings until retirement, as well as any pension benefits, may be claimed. The deceased's conscious pain, suffering and anguish are all matters which are difficult to calculate but are part of the damages in a wrongful death action. Finally, the loss of care, companionship and guidance that a child or spouse suffers as a result of a loved one's death are major elements to be considered in every wrongful death case.

If you or a close friend has suffered the loss of a loved one as a result of another's negligence, Walsh Law Firm will consult with you and explain how they will pursue full compensation for the survivors of this by "re-creating" the life of the deceased so that a jury understands the full impact of this tragic loss.

Steve Walsh represented me in a DWI jury trial. The jury came back after 17 minutes of deliberation with a Not Guilty verdict. I would like to say thanks to the Walsh Law Firm for supporting me and helping me out through all of this trouble that I was in. I would recommend this firm to anyone who needs assistance with any legal matters. The Walsh legal assistants are awesome.

Mr. Walsh is undeniably the absolute best criminal attorney to use if you are handling a Stoddard CO situation and live out of said County. His vast knowledge of that area and quality service of council will be worth whatever monetary amount you have to offer.

Coming to Walsh Law Firm, not knowing anything about a lawyer, Steve treated me just as if we had known each other all of our lives. He was just your plain, average, ordinary guy. He was just Steve Walsh, and I was Lance Brown and that is what meant more to me than anything. He was very thorough, believed in me, listened to me and kept me very informed throughout my whole deal. I cannot thank him enough. His staff is awesome, and I couldn’t ask for anything better. I dealt with all the girls and from the git-go I felt at home with this office and that is what I was looking for. My wife feels the same exact way and we both think we made a smart decision taking a leap and we came in the right direction. It makes a difference when you’re not just a client, you are a friend. I would advise anybody that has any legal matters to definitely check them out because you won’t be disappointed.
