Although our law firm is based in Birmingham, Alabama we handle wrongful death cases throughout the state of Alabama.

Wrongful death occurs when a person is killed as a result of the negligence or wanton act of another. Alabama's wrongful death statute is different from every other state's wrongful death action. In Alabama, the family of a loved one who is killed as a result of another person's negligence is only entitled to punitive damages, not compensatory damages. In other words, if a forty-year-old husband and father of two is killed in an automobile accident in Alabama, his family cannot ask a jury to award damages for his future income which they could have expected had he lived another thirty-five years. They can only ask the jury to punish the person who was at fault. There are other intricacies involved in pursuing wrongful death actions such as the actual process for filing the lawsuit in Alabama. These various details make it imperative that you consult an attorney experienced in wrongful death cases in Alabama before attempting to handle such a case yourself.

TESTIMONIALS

  • I was involved in a slip and fall case. A friend of mine referred Danny Feldman. He is an excellent attorney. He was very good at guiding me and breaking everything down so I could easily understand what was going on. He kept me updated every step of the way. If Danny went to court, he would let me know before
    hand, and tell me about the results when it was over with. I am extremely happy with the outcome of the case, and would highly recommend Danny to my friends and family.

  • I was in a car accident, and my cousin referred me to Danny Lehane. I was extremely happy to have him as my attorney. He is an excellent lawyer and I really like him as a person. He always returned my calls promptly and kept me informed throughout the case. At one point, I changed my telephone number and his staff had trouble contacting me. Danny reached me through the mail to make sure I was OK, and nothing had happened to me. I appreciated all of Danny’s efforts and at the end of the case, I knew he did his very best. I would certainly recommend Danny Lehane to any friends or family who needed an attorney.
