How Does Flattmann Law Handle Car Wreck Death Cases With Compassion?

Over the past 20 years, we’ve represented many families grieving with the loss of a loved one in a traffic accident. I’m always humbled when these families choose our law firm to help them with such an emotionally charged matter and we do everything we can to balance outstanding legal advocacy with empathy and respect for the family.

Compassion and Communication:

Throughout the case, from the moment of our initial consultation through resolution, we understand the magnitude of the family’s loss and work to identify the best way we can represent them, with the most respect for their loved one.

Communication is always important to us because we want our clients to have peace of mind that their case is being handled efficiently and effectively. When a death is involved, we work with the family to strike a balance between communication and providing space for grieving. However, clear expectations and timelines are set so that our clients are not overwhelmed by unexpected tasks.  

Respect for the Deceased:

To the extent the family feels comfortable, we want to understand who the decedent was as a person, just as if we were representing them directly. Such appreciation helps us present the family’s real losses to the insurance company, who would rather view it as just another claim number.

At the pace of the family, we talk about their loved one, look through photos and videos, and get to know them.  At trial or mediation, we often present slideshows and videos, showing the deceased person for who they really were and emphasizing the true loss suffered by the family.  

Evaluation and Expectations:

In any case we handle, the hardest part is converting pain and suffering to dollars and cents. But in civil law, monetary compensation is the only relief we have available. In a death case, this process is even more difficult.

However, at the appropriate time, we work with our clients to form a reasonable expectation of legal compensation. We understand that every case is different and that every person is unique. That’s why we go through a lengthy process of evaluating our clients’ claims based on the circumstances of their case.

We know that our clients have a lot to deal with after the loss of a loved one. That’s why we do everything we can to make the legal process a little easier.
