Wrongful Death: Compassionate Support and Trusted Legal Expertise
At Nash & Franciskato, our lawyers understand the complexities of Missouri and Kansas wrongful death laws, bringing both determination and expertise to handle even the most challenging wrongful death lawsuits — cases that others might not pursue.
Your Case Deserves Experienced Attorneys
Wrongful death claims arise when someone’s negligence or intentional actions lead to a fatality. Our team’s experience includes cases involving:
- All types of automobile accidents, including those caused by highway defects or occurring at railroad crossings
- Premises liability such as fatal slip and fall accidents or inadequate security measures
- Product liability claims against manufacturers of automobiles, vehicle parts, and a wide range of other consumer goods
If someone’s negligent behavior has caused harm, legal action can be pursued. In negligence-based claims, plaintiffs must demonstrate that the defendant failed to act responsibly.
