When Tragedy Strikes,
We Stand by Your Side

At Santomaro Law, we understand the profound pain and challenges that follow the wrongful death of a loved one. Losing someone due to another party’s negligence or misconduct is a tragedy that no family should endure alone. Our firm is dedicated to helping families navigate this complex legal process, hold responsible parties accountable, and secure the financial compensation they deserve.

​

What is Wrongful Death?

​

A wrongful death claim arises when a person’s death is caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another party. This type of legal action allows the deceased person’s family members or estate representatives to seek compensation for damages such as loss of income, funeral expenses, emotional suffering, and loss of companionship.

​

Fire Loss

​

Fires can lead to devastating fatalities, particularly when caused by negligence or defective products. For example:

​

• A landlord’s failure to install or maintain smoke detectors in a rental property may result in a fire that claims lives.
   

• Electrical fires sparked by faulty wiring in a commercial building could lead to the tragic loss of life due to neglectful maintenance.
   

• Defective household appliances that ignite unexpectedly can also hold manufacturers liable for wrongful death.
   

• An illegal rooming house or apartment, where overcrowding and inadequate fire safety measures such as blocked exits or non-functioning smoke alarms, contribute to a fatal fire.

In these cases, Santomaro Law investigates the root cause of the fire and pursues claims against landlords, property managers, contractors, or manufacturers to achieve justice for grieving families.

​

Car Accidents

​

Motor vehicle accidents remain one of the leading causes of wrongful death in the United States. Common examples include:

​

• A distracted or drunk driver causing a collision that results in fatalities.
   

• Defective vehicle parts, such as faulty brakes or airbags, leading to a fatal accident.
   

• Dangerous road conditions, such as poorly marked construction zones, that contribute to deadly crashes.
   

Our team meticulously analyzes police reports, vehicle maintenance records, and eyewitness testimony to build a compelling case. We strive to hold negligent drivers, automakers, and even municipal entities accountable.

​

Medical Catastrophes

​

Medical malpractice can result in catastrophic outcomes, including wrongful death. Examples of such cases include:

​

• A surgeon’s error during a routine procedure leading to fatal complications.
   

• A misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of a life-threatening condition, such as cancer or heart disease.
   

• Improper administration of medication, resulting in an overdose or adverse reaction.
   

Santomaro Law collaborates with medical experts to scrutinize healthcare providers’ actions, ensuring that victims’ families receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
