The firm handles primarily wrongful death claims, which contains the following analysis:
- Duty
- Breach of Duty
- Causation
- Damages
The party that caused the wrongful death must have had a duty to not act or fail to act in a way that it could reasonably be foreseen that a death could result. There are different levels of duties for different situations, which is all the more reason to trust in a Kansas City wrongful death attorney who knows the different levels of duties present, and the different types of conduct or lack of conduct that constitute a breach of duty.
A breach of the legal duty present can be an extremely difficult concept to prove. Different situations require different levels of duty. For instance, a doctor or attorney has a much higher duty of care towards his or her clients or patients than does a pedestrian crossing paths with another person. A property owner has different levels of duties towards his or her guests or business invitees than does an owner of a fenced-in vacant lot. Facts create the level of duty owed, and as a result the standard present that would or would not constitute a breach of that duty. Only an experienced Kansas City wrongful death attorney should be trusted to make this evaluation. Rubins, Kase, Hager, Cambiano & Bryant has this experience, so you should allow them to handle this analysis for you.
This concept is the most difficult in this area of wrongful death law. Stated as plainly as possible, the defendant’s act or failure to act must be the cause of the wrongful death. This is strictly a legal standard, and there are several legal tests present to help determine whether causation exists. Although this type of analysis is taught in law school, only an experienced and successful Kansas City wrongful death attorney should make this judgment for his or her client. Rubins, Kase, Hager, Cambiano & Bryant has been making these judgments for years.
A wrongful death claim must have damages present in order for a valid claim to be filed. In a wrongful death situation, these damages are typically economic in nature, and must be calculate according to set formulas that the courts adopt. Do not attempt to handle this yourself. Contact an experienced Kansas City wrongful death attorney to come to this decision.
Overall, success in the area of wrongful death law requires a high level of expertise. Given that you are already dealing with tremendous loss, this is no time to “teach yourself” the law. Let the Kansas City wrongful death law firm of Rubins, Kase, Hager, Cambiano & Bryant protect your rights.
