Wrongful Death

The Des Moines wrongful death attorneys at VanDerGinst Law, P.C. are dedicated to seeking compensation for the families of people who were killed needlessly because of another person's actions or negligence.  Convicting someone of wrongful death in the civil arm of the legal system allows the decedent's survivors to recuperate monetary compensation for their loss.  A Des Moines wrongful death attorney will take the loss of companionship, lost wages, and emotional pain of the plaintiff into account when calculating the amount of damages he or she will pursue on your behalf.

It must be proved that the defendant's actions caused the decedent's death for a court of law to order a damages award.  By seeking justice in this way, a Des Moines wrongful death case can help a family find closure after a tragic event.  

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death, that seems to have been someone else's fault, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation. The initial consultation is free of charge. If we agree to handle your injury case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if, and when, there is a money recovery for you. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. So please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
