Wrongful Death

Our practice at Archuleta, Alsaffar & Higginbotham focuses on helping people win claims against the Military and Veterans Administration to compensate them for losses, including wrongful death.

When an accident leads to serious injury causing sudden or later death, the survivors of the deceased may be entitled bring claims against any responsible people or organizations whose negligence caused the injury or death. If those who were negligent were employees or agents of the U.S. government (such as Military or Veterans Administration), the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) and the Military Claims Act (MCA) allow wrongful death claims to be brought against the U.S. government.

Contact us if you think you may have a wrongful death claim against the U.S. government following the untimely loss of a loved one. How do you know if the death or your loved one was a wrongful one? Our free consultation can help you explore that question.
