Wrongful Death

When someone dies as a result of the negligence or wrongful act of another, the law in North Carolina allows the relatives to make a claim against that person or company based upon our wrongful death statute. Our law recognizes the value of human life by allowing the deceased relatives to recover money damages for medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, lost income of the deceased, pain and suffering, the loss of companionship, protection, services, care, assistance, companionship, comfort, guidance, kindly offices and advice of the deceased.

Deaths that result from automobile/tractor trailer and/or motorcycle accidents, medical negligence, gunshot wounds, and other acts of negligence are all covered under the Wrongful Death Statute. We, at Hill & Hovis, are experienced in handling these claims and will be diligent in assisting and protecting the rights of those who have lost loved ones.
