Wrongful Death
Serving Since 1973
Few experiences are more devastating than losing a loved one because of another’s negligence or carelessness. While no legal action can undo that loss, a wrongful death claim can bring accountability, financial stability, and a measure of justice to grieving families. The King Firm stands beside families throughout Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee during these painful times, guiding them through every step of the legal process with compassion, clarity, and conviction.
The Legal Process
When a wrongful death occurs, a personal representative (often a family member or executor of the estate) must bring the claim on behalf of the deceased. The King Firm assists families with:
-
Properly opening and establishing an estate
-
Investigating the cause of death
-
Gathering medical records, accident reports, and financial documentation
-
Working with experts to establish fault and causation

Filing all legal documents within the statute of limitations
-
Negotiating with insurance carriers

Pursuing litigation when necessary
Wrongful death cases are emotionally and legally complex. The King Firm ensures that every detail is handled with precision, respect, and diligence so families feel supported at every stage.

What Constitutes Wrongful Death
A wrongful death occurs when a person’s life is taken due to another party’s negligent, reckless, or intentional conduct. These cases can arise from motor vehicle accidents, workplace incidents, dangerous products, medical malpractice, or other preventable events.
Every state has its own wrongful death laws. In Alabama, wrongful death claims are unique because they focus primarily on punitive damages — damages intended to punish wrongful conduct and deter similar behavior — rather than compensatory damages for loss of income or companionship. This distinction makes it critical to work with a firm experienced in building persuasive, evidence-based cases under Alabama law while also understanding the legal frameworks of neighboring states.
The King Firm is equipped to guide families through wrongful death claims across the Southeast, applying the appropriate state laws depending on where the tragedy occurred.
