Wrongful Death

Bluffton, South Carolina, Wrongful Death Lawyer

When a car crash or other incident results in the death of a family member, a lawyer can give you the guidance and representation you need to get through a very difficult time. While nothing can change what has happened, a lawyer can handle the legal and economic issues of the loss, so you can deal with your grief.

Dale Akins is a lawyer with nearly 20 years of experience in representing families in wrongful death cases in South Carolina and Georgia. A death is considered wrongful if it is caused by the carelessness of another party, whether that party is a negligent driver or company that makes an unsafe product.

Every wrongful death case is different and may require a different approach on the part of your lawyer. For example, if a child dies in a car accident caused by a drunk driver, aggressive representation is needed to hold the responsible party accountable.

Family members in Georgia and South Carolina generally can recover compensation for funeral expenses, medical expenses incurred prior to death, lost financial support from a wage earner, loss of parental guidance and loss of consortium.

Mr. Akins' clients are fighting for justice and compensation. By holding a negligent property owner or corporation accountable, his clients hope to keep other families from going through the grief of losing a loved one.
