The Valente Law Group has obtained millions of dollars for bereaved family members who have lost loved ones due to the negligence of others by way of settlements or jury verdicts.

Wrongful death is a claim against a person and/or entity who is liable for causing a death as a result of a negligent act. A wrongful death lawsuit can be brought by certain family members of a deceased individual. A wrongful death claim may result from medical negligence, a motor vehicle accident or work-related injury. The goal of the wrongful death claim is to compensate certain family members for their economic and non-economic losses. In Maryland, these damages include loss of income, mental anguish, emotional pain and suffering, loss of society, loss of companionship, loss of comfort, loss of protection, loss of marital care, loss of attention, loss of advice, counsel, and guidance.
