Car accident resulting in a fatality

Jacksonville Attorneys Bring Justice To Your Loved One Lost In A Car Accident

Helping Your Family To Move On Following A Fatality

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, there were 2,563 traffic fatalities in our state in 2013. All involved at least one motor vehicle; some involved bicyclists and pedestrians. While that number is down from previous years, thanks in part to a recently expanded seat belt law that allows stricter enforcement on the part of police, it still leaves more than 2,500 families mourning the loss of a loved one. While no amount of money can begin to address such a loss, you have the right to seek compensation if your loved one’s death was due to the negligent actions of someone else, and we can help.

At Fallgatter Catlin & Varon, P.A., our compassionate attorneys understand that a car accident fatality affects surviving family members in profound and long-lasting ways. If your loved one killed in a car accident was the primary breadwinner, you face not only the loss of his or her companionship but the very real loss of income and future earnings potential. Our personal injury lawyers will seek justice for your loved one through a wrongful death suit by holding the negligent party or parties responsible and obtaining the compensation you deserve and need, whether through settlement or at trial. We promise to stand by you through every step of your case to make an already difficult time as painless as possible.
