Hoover Fatal Car Accident Lawyer

Cory Watson Personal Injury Attorneys  >  Hoover Fatal Car Accident

Cory Watson Attorneys offers our condolences if your loved one lost their life after a fatal car accident in Hoover. We have represented many surviving loved ones of such fatal accidents, and we want to provide any stability we can during this trying time. 

A Hoover fatal car accident lawyer from Cory Watson Attorneys will demand that liable parties cover funeral and burial expenses, pain and suffering, medical expenses, and all other damages caused by your loved one’s fatal accident. When our personal injury legal team works on your case, you get a law firm that truly cares about you and your family.

Recoverable Damages in a Fatal Car Accident in Hoover, AL

Our firm knows how devastating losing a loved one is. As much as we wish your loved one were still with you, our car accident attorneys deal with the tragic reality that fatal car accident victims face—yes, surviving loved ones are victims, too.

Our team serving Hoover will identify every loss resulting from the fatal car accident, which may include:

  • Pain and suffering: Frontiers in Psychology notes that those who suddenly lose a loved one are at a higher risk of grief-related complications. Along with grief, you may experience depression, emotional distress, and other conditions that qualify as pain and suffering.
  • Funeral expenses: Healthline notes that funerals cost about $15,000 on average, but the cost may be even greater. We’ll include the cost of your loved one’s funeral and burial in your Hoover fatal car accident case.
  • Non-economic damages: In addition to pain and suffering, non-economic damages from a wrongful death may include loss of companionship and parental guidance. Your lawyer from Cory Watson Attorneys will paint a clear picture of who your loved one was and what their passing means to surviving loved ones.
  • Lost financial support: We will determine the financial cost of your loved one’s passing. This involves projecting how much income dependents have lost because the decedent no longer earns a living. This also involves calculating the cost of lost household services, including handiwork, financial services, and help with household chores.
  • Medical costs: We will calculate the cost of all medical care the decedent received before their passing.
  • Property costs: If a vehicle owned by the decedent or their loved one suffered damage during the accident, we’ll seek compensation for repair or replacement of the vehicle. 

This is just an overview of the damages a Hoover fatal car accident lawyer from Cory Watson Attorneys will consider. Each case we handle is unique. We’ll complete a top-to-bottom investigation of your damages and fight for the financial recovery you deserve.
