How to Build a Strong Wrongful Death Claim
Taking the right steps after a tragic loss can help your family secure the justice and compensation you deserve.
Gather Evidence Early
Collect police reports, accident scene photos and witness statements as soon as possible. These documents help establish liability.
Keep Financial Records
Save all receipts related to medical care, funeral costs and lost income. Proof of financial losses is essential to your claim.
Don’t Speak with Insurers Alone
Insurance adjusters aim to minimize payouts. Politely refer them to your attorney instead of giving recorded statements.
Consult a Compassionate Wrongful Death Lawyer
A lawyer can manage paperwork, negotiate with insurers and help you understand the damages available to your family.

“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
"Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again."
“Unbelievable work!”
"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"
“I got justice and awesome compensation.”

How Strong Law will handle your case
Gather evidence, interview witnesses, and assess the circumstances surrounding the accident to establish facts and liability.
Determine the extent of damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Engage in discussions with the opposing party or insurance companies to reach a fair settlement outside of court.
If negotiations fail, proceed to court where legal arguments and evidence are presented before a judge or jury for a final decision.
Insider experience
We Know How Insurance Companies Operate
Before founding Strong Law, attorney Jed worked as in-house counsel for GEICO, defending the very insurance companies we fight today. That experience gives us an edge when negotiating — and a strategy when litigation is necessary.
