Heirs Hiring Separate Wrongful Death Lawyers

Answer:

We’re often asked if different beneficiaries of a decedent in a wrongful death case can have different attorneys, and the answer to that question is yes. Every beneficiary can have a different attorney in the case to represent their particular interests in the case and to present their part of the case, so the answer to that question is yes. You can have more than one attorney in a wrongful death action that represent different beneficiaries within the action.

That can come up in cases. You need to take that into consideration. Usually, we have to work together because we have a common interest in making sure that the compensation is adequate for the loss. Give us a call if you have questions.
