What Is Wrongful Death?

Friday, December 26th, 2008

The death of a loved one is a tragic and devastating experience. When that death comes prematurely due to the negligence or deliberate misconduct of another party, then the tragedy is also known as wrongful death. For those left behind following the wrongful death of a family member, the financial burden of lost income coupled with the emotional harm is a devastating burden to bear.

There are numerous acts that might have grounds for a wrongful death. Some of these include:

Reckless driving, which results in an automobile accident, motorcycle accident, or truck accident
Medical malpractice, including surgical malpractice, anesthetic malpractice and cosmetic surgery malpractice
Nursing home abuse or neglect in which a nursing home employee is guilty of cruelty or carelessness in their responsibility for your loved one

Losing a loved one due to someone’s carelessness, recklessness and/or neglect is heart wrenching. While emotional harm can often be compensated for, financial loss and injury is where the majority of damages stem from. Entitlement may include loss of potential inheritance, diminished future income, medical expenses and funeral costs. At Robbins & Associates, we have experienced wrongful death attorneys who will review your case and conclude the amount of damages you and your family are entitled to.

Have You Been Falsely Arrested?

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

A false arrest is the illegitimate incarceration of a person because there is insufficient evidence against them. Very often, security personnel or private employees of a company conduct these detentions. Yet it is illegal for a private citizen or employee to detain someone who is not committing a crime before his or her eyes. However, it’s not uncommon for police officers to engage in a false arrest.

False arrests by a police officer are the result of:

The officer relying on faulty information
Probable cause did not exist but the officer conducted the arrest anyway
A warrant never existed
Unnecessary search and seizure

Being the victim of a false arrest can cause a torrent of questions and emotions to rush through your head:

What’s the gravity of the charges?
Is there a basis behind them?
Is my innocence possible to prove?
What are my rights?

It’s important that you remain calm and do not speak without the presence of an attorney. At Robbins & Associates, we have experienced false arrest attorneys who can legally advise and provide guidance.

A false arrest can have emotional and physical repercussions on its victims and you are entitled to compensation for these injuries. If you or a loved one has been the victim of a false arrest in Atlanta, please contact Robbins & Associates today to schedule a free consultation with one of our attorneys.
