Compassionate Representation for Families Who Have Lost Loved Ones

The unexpected loss of a family member due to someone else's negligence creates both emotional trauma and financial hardship. At Howard, Fine & Howard, we represent New Hampshire families who have lost loved ones in accidents, due to medical negligence, workplace incidents, defective products, or other preventable circumstances. Our wrongful death attorneys provide compassionate guidance through the legal process while aggressively pursuing the compensation families need to address financial losses and acknowledge the profound value of the life that was cut short. If you've lost a family member due to another's negligence, contact our compassionate team to discuss your legal options.

Why Wrongful Death Cases Require Specialized Legal Knowledge

Wrongful death cases involve unique legal, emotional, and financial challenges that demand attorneys with specific expertise and sensitivity. These complex cases require lawyers who understand:

  • New Hampshire's specific wrongful death statutes and who can legally file claims
  • How to calculate economic damages including lost future income and benefits
  • Methods for valuing non-economic damages like loss of companionship and guidance
  • The process for establishing estate representatives when necessary
  • How to effectively demonstrate the full impact of the loss on surviving family members
  • Strategies for handling complex liability issues across multiple potential defendants
  • The importance of thorough investigation to establish causation and negligence
  • How to manage family dynamics sensitively during a time of grief
  • The intersection of wrongful death claims with probate and estate matters
  • The appropriate timing of legal actions while respecting the grieving process


Without experienced representation, families often receive inadequate compensation that fails to address their long-term needs. Our attorneys can guide you through this difficult process with compassion and legal expertise.

  • How long do I have to file a wrongful death lawsuit?

    The time limit, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state. Generally, wrongful death claims must be filed within 1-3 years from the date of death or from when the cause of death was discovered. Consulting with an attorney promptly is crucial to preserve your legal rights.

  • How common is nursing home abuse in the United States?

    Unfortunately, nursing home abuse is more prevalent than most people realize. Studies suggest that a significant percentage of nursing home residents experience some form of mistreatment, though many cases go unreported due to residents' fear, inability to communicate, or lack of awareness. The problem spans across facilities of all sizes and types throughout the country.

  • What types of compensation are available in wrongful death cases?

    Compensation in wrongful death cases typically includes economic damages (medical expenses, funeral costs, loss of financial support) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, loss of companionship). In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded if the defendant's conduct was particularly egregious.

  • Who is eligible to file a wrongful death claim?

    Eligibility to file varies by state law, but typically includes immediate family members such as spouses, children, and parents of unmarried children. Some states allow more distant relatives to file, while others restrict claims to specific family members or the deceased's estate representative.

  • How is fault determined in a wrongful death case?

    Determining fault involves establishing that the defendant owed a duty of care to the deceased, breached that duty, and that this breach directly caused the death. Evidence may include witness testimony, expert opinions, accident reports, medical records, and other documentation relevant to establishing negligence or misconduct.
