Wrongful Death

In Maryland, wrongful death law allows certain family members to bring a civil lawsuit when the wrongful act, neglect, or default of another party causes a person’s death.

Silverman Thompson attorneys Andrew Slutkin, Ethan Nochumowitz, and Jason Wasserman are widely regarded as the top wrongful death attorneys in Maryland.

Our team routinely obtains million-dollar and multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements on behalf of families who have suffered the loss of a loved one as a result of someone else’s negligence.

These personal injury attorneys have significant experience handling wrongful death cases in a wide range of areas, including wrongful deaths arising out of:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents and tractor-trailer accidents
• Pedestrians hit by vehicles
• Construction site incidents and falls
• Use of heavy machinery (such as forklifts, asphalt rollers, or dump trucks)
• Use of off-road vehicles (such as ATVs)
• Fires
• Explosions
• Drownings
• Boat propeller injuries
• Shootings
• Automatic doors/elevators
• Negligently designed and manufactured products

As experienced and successful trial attorneys, Mr. Slutkin, Mr. Wasserman, and Mr. Nochumowitz have proven that they will not settle a wrongful death case simply to avoid trial. For example, in a recent product liability death case, which occurred at a construction site, they rejected a settlement offer of $750,000 and went on to obtain a jury verdict at trial of $4,844,000.

In a car accident death case, our team rejected an offer of $1,500,000 and went on to obtain a jury verdict at trial of $2,800,000.

As a result of tremendous verdicts such as these and others, defense attorneys and insurance companies take notice when Mr. Slutkin, Mr. Nochumowitz, and Mr. Wasserman represent the plaintiffs in a wrongful death case.
