Paula Molano was my lawyer after getting hurt on the job. During the whole process, Paula kept in contact with me on regular basis. Paula Is very knowledgeable and informed in this area of expertise. Paula cares for the well being for her clients. Paula did an outstanding job with my case, she was easy to work with, I did everything by email or phone calls. And got me what I deserved. If you looking for a good lawyer. That cares about her clients. I highly recommend Paula Malona.Thank you, Paula for everything you had done for me and looking out for my best interest.

Honestly, if I could give more than 5 stars I would. My family and I have been through so much in the last 2 years and Nives Juric and her team have been absolutely amazing! They took so much stress off of me by stepping up and taking care of everything, it has truly been a saving grace! I would highly recommend putting your trust in them to get the job done!

October 2022, I was injured on my part time job. I hurt my back and was in a lot of pain. I called Montlick And Associates and was directed to attorney Jeffrey Kowalski and his paralegal Christopher Phillips they were awesome they fought for me and got me the settlement I deserved. I received phone calls from them asking me how was I feeling and if I needed anything. Excellent law firm I would definitely use them again 👍. Cherry Nesbit

Attorney Jason Saltzman and his assistant Kris Brown did an exceptional job working my case. From beginning to end they were very caring about my injuries and concerns. They responded to all my calls, text and emails in a timely fashion and never seem to have an issue with all my questions, and I had many. Because of their obvious honesty, I decided that I could trust them to handle my business and decided to utilize patience. Although there were times that I wondered what was going on, was convinced that they had my best interest in mind. Kris made sure that she requested any and all documents and information they needed and followed up with me if needed. I would recommend this team at Motlick and Associates to anyone who may find themself in a situation like mine and have to endure the pain, suffering and injuries that I endured. At the end of the day I believe they did the best they could on my behalf. Although I am still experiencing the after effects of my surgery. I fell a since of relief from the outcome my team was able to achieve. Thank you Attorney Saltzman and Kris Brown.

Fighting for Families of Wrongful Death Victims Nationwide 

What To Know About a Construction Wrongful Death Claim

A construction death claim may involve two cases pursued simultaneously: a workers’ compensation claim and a wrongful death claim against the negligent parties. 

Depending on applicable state law, construction accident victims might be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. In the event of a wrongful death from a construction or work injury, dependents may be able to pursue a separate personal injury claim against negligent individuals or companies who are responsible. The various legal systems are complex to navigate and can feel overwhelming to those who just lost a loved one.

We’ll Pursue ALL Avenues of Compensation for Our Clients

When Should I File for a Wrongful Death Claim?

Generally, the statute of limitations is two years for filing a wrongful death claim. We understand that entering a legal process may be the furthest thing from your mind when a loved one is lost. Let us do the fighting for you, so you can get the peace-of-mind you deserve.

Start Now

While the workers’ compensation benefits may help bridge a gap, there may be a negligent party or parties responsible for the wrongful death of a family member. In these situations, we will work to hold those parties accountable. A wrongful death suit may help to recover medical expenses, lost future wages, pain and suffering, and potentially punitive damages. Each case is different, so please call us at 1-800-LAW-NEED® to take advantage of our free consultation.

What To Expect

  • Our consultations are always compassionate, confidential, and free

  • We will keep you informed about your case every step of the way.
  • We will always act in our client’s best interest.

What is a Wrongful Death Action?

If a family member suffers a wrongful death at the construction site caused by someone else’s negligence, our attorneys pursue all types of compensation to which our clients are entitled by law. In these situations, there may be one or a few negligent parties. These can include general contractors, subcontractors, construction site owners, equipment manufacturers and more.

When negligence wrongly robs someone of a loved one, our attorneys fight to recover the following types of damages, among others:

  • Past, present, and future medical expenses
  • Past, present, and future lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of consortium (if applicable)
  • Punitive damages, depending on the egregiousness of the defendant’s conduct
