Exceptional Representation and Support
We engaged Matthews & Associates after the unfortunate, untimely wrongful death of my son, Daelyn. We have not settled the matter yet; however, I am completely satisfied with the exceptional representation we are receiving from this firm, especially from our very diligent lawyer, Mark Chavez. I have to say he is a class on his own. He never misses meetings and returns all emails and phone calls almost immediately. He explains everything clearly and patiently and the entire process with care and clarity. His personable approach made an extremely painful situation more manageable, and I am deeply grateful for his dedication and support. My family and I are deeply grateful.

How is negligence determined in wrongful death cases?
Negligence is determined by evaluating evidence such as witness testimony, expert analysis, and documentation related to the incident. It must be shown that the defendant failed to meet a standard of reasonable care.
What must be proven in a wrongful death claim?
To succeed, you must demonstrate that the defendant owed a duty of care to the deceased, breached that duty through negligence or misconduct, and caused the death, resulting in specific damages to the family.
How long does a wrongful death case take?
The duration of a wrongful death case varies based on factors such as case complexity, court schedules, and willingness to settle. It can take anywhere from several months to years. Your attorney can provide an estimated timeline based on your case.
