Wrongful Death Claims

A wrongful death claim arises when someone dies as the result of another person's negligent conduct. A wrongful death case differs from other personal injury actions in that the claim is brought by the decedent's estate or one of his or her family members. 

If you or a loved one is in need of legal assistance, call Shillen & Mackall at 802-457-4848 or use our online contact form. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
