Compassionate Assistance When Tragedy Strikes

After a fatal accident, surviving family members face overwhelming burdens — with grief and loss at the top of the list. Other urgent challenges can seem like just too much to bear: funeral and burial decisions, emergency care and medical bills, loss of income, probate issues and readjustment of family responsibilities and routines.

Helping Suffering Families After A Wrongful Death

At the Honolulu law firm of Cronin, Fried, Sekiya, Kekina & Fairbanks, our lawyers understand the immediate and long-term losses family members suffer after a catastrophic or fatal accident. Family members come to our law office looking for more than help with these challenges. They also have a burning need for answers to why and how their loved one was killed — who is ultimately responsible and how to prevent future tragedy for others.

Let us guide you through this difficult time. We will tend to the details of your claim so you can concentrate on healing from your loss.

Why Does A Victim’s Age And Occupation Matter?

While no one can replace what you have lost, insurance companies typically “value” the worth of a person’s life according to their financial contributions to the family. Therefore, according to their calculations, the loss of a breadwinning, primary wage earner is worth more than a mother who quit work to take care of her children, a retired grandparent or a child.

Replacing the lost wages of a breadwinner is, of course, critically important to a family that was dependent on the victim’s income. But other losses such as a person’s role in the family, the psychological trauma of survivors and the value of life itself must not be ignored. Our firm understands the magnitude of intangible losses such as pain and suffering, companionship, consortium and other noneconomic damages. We fight long and hard to ensure that families are fully compensated for the loss of support and companionship of a loved one.
