Addressing Legal and Practical Needs After a Loss

In addition to pursuing a wrongful death claim, we assist families with other critical legal matters that arise after losing a loved one, including:


  • Managing beneficiary and heir matters
  • Navigating probate issues
  • Addressing estate administration


We work closely with you to ensure your rights and interests are protected every step of the way, so you can focus on healing.

  • What compensation can be recovered in a wrongful death case?

    You may recover damages for funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, medical bills related to the final injury, and in some cases, punitive damages.

    Under Mississippi law, surviving spouses, children, parents, or the personal representative of the estate may file a wrongful death claim.
