There’s no pain deeper than losing someone you love. A car crash that never should’ve happened. A workplace accident caused by shortcuts. A doctor’s mistake that leaves a family shattered. One moment changes everything — and the grief, anger, and questions don’t fade easily.

At Dayson Shalabi Burkett Law Firm, LLC (DSB Law Firm), a wrongful death lawyer will help families pick up the pieces after a wrongful death. You shouldn’t have to carry the financial burden of someone else’s negligence while mourning your loss. We step in so you can focus on healing, while we fight for accountability and justice.

What a Wrongful Death Case Can Mean for Families

Every case is unique, but the pain is shared. Parents lose children. Children lose parents. Partners lose the future they planned together.

These cases often involve:

  • Fatal car or truck crashes caused by reckless drivers
  • Dangerous workplaces where safety was ignored
  • Medical negligence leading to preventable loss
  • Defective products that failed when families trusted them most

Compensation doesn’t bring a loved one back. But it can ease the strain of unpaid medical bills, funeral expenses, and years of lost income. It can also hold those responsible accountable, making sure the same mistakes don’t harm another family.

Filing a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Taking legal action is difficult when you’re grieving. But waiting too long can mean losing your opportunity to file altogether. Our wrongful death lawyers guide families through each step:

We’ll investigate whether the injury came from:

  • Identifying all responsible parties — from individuals to companies
  • Calculating both the economic impact and the immeasurable emotional loss
  • Filing the lawsuit and handling negotiations or trial when needed

You shouldn’t have to navigate this alone. We walk with you through the legal process and stand up to insurers or corporations who try to minimize your loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I find a wrongful death lawsuit lawyer near me?

    Look for a firm with real experience in wrongful death litigation. These cases are complex — involving investigations, expert witnesses, and deep knowledge of local courts. A “general” lawyer may not have the resources or focus needed.
  • What does a wrongful death lawsuit payout usually include?

    Payouts vary widely. They may cover medical bills from the final injury or illness, funeral and burial costs, lost future income, and damages for the emotional toll on surviving family members. Sometimes, punitive damages are awarded to punish reckless or intentional conduct.
  • What is the statute of limitations for a wrongful death lawsuit?

    In South Carolina, most wrongful death cases must be filed within three years of the death. In certain cases, you may only have two years. Waiting too long can mean not recovering anything.
