Compensation for wrongful death in 4-fatality construction accident Jackson, TN lawsuit nets $3.9 million dollar settlement amount

Can I sue for wrongful death in a construction zone accident?

If a loved one is killed in a construction zone accident, you may file a wrongful death lawsuit against the responsible parties. You will need a personal injury attorney to win maximum compensation. Warshafksy won a $3.9 million settlement for a wrongful death case of 4 family members who were killed in an accident in a construction zone.

Milwaukee car crash attorneys find true fault through investigation

“If there’s a tragedy in your life, Warshafsky WILL take care of you and your family.” - Scott Hawkins, Warshafsky client

Scott Hawkins lost four family members in a devastating auto accident more than 12 years ago. His family members were driving through road construction outside Jackson, TN on their way to celebrate Easter weekend in Texas. That’s when the vehicle they were traveling in was rear-ended by a semi. Scott’s stepmother, stepbrother, sister and 3-year-old nephew were all killed in the collision.

Other law firms encouraged Scott and his family to settle quickly without thoroughly evaluating the insurance company’s offer. One family member chose to be represented by a west coast law firm who advised they immediately take the insurance company’s settlement offer of $750,000. Their offer perfectly aligned with the maximum amount on the semi driver’s liability policy, with no adjustments made for the circumstances of the collision.

Scott and the rest of his family chose Warshafsky Law Firm because they were the only attorneys who showed genuine compassion and care for how the family was handling the tragic circumstances. Milwaukee car accident attorneys at Warshafsky were the only attorneys willing to do everything within their power to get the family the largest possible settlement or judgment if a trial became necessary.

Extensive accident investigation in Jackson, TN reveals additional responsible party

Warshafsky’s professional in-house legal investigators reconstructed the accident, finding the driver of the semi was not solely responsible for the wrongful death accident, in fact, he was not even primarily at fault. The construction company which had been contracted to perform the road construction had made unsafe driving conditions for the convenience of their own trucks. Their sloppy traffic patterns created the hazard, inevitably leading to the circumstances which took the lives of Scott Hawkins’ family members.

Nothing can return what was lost on that day in late March, but thanks to the diligence of the personal injury lawyers at Warshafsky Law Firm, the negligence of the construction company would not go unpunished. Scott and his family received a $3.9 million settlement, far exceeding the initial $750,000 settlement the other law firm encouraged them to take.

When people choose their Wisconsin personal injury lawyer based on the endorsement of a football player or actor, they risk choosing an attorney who has never won more money in a courtroom. Settlement mills forward your paperwork and take a cut of your damages. Hundreds of times we have prepared cases like yours beyond the brink of trial. Facing unlimited liability AND an expensive jury trial, insurance companies fess up what your case is worth. They HATE when you choose Warshafsky.

Scott credits Warshafsky auto accident attorney Frank Crivello for treating him as more than just a client. They still talk more than a decade later, and Scott is proud to call Frank Crivello a true friend.

I don’t wish tragedy on anyone... But if there’s a tragedy in your life, Warshafsky WILL take care of you and your family.
-Scott Hawkins Warshafsky client
