Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in Tempe, Arizona

A wrongful death occurs when someone’s negligent or reckless actions cause another person’s death. Under A.R.S. § 12-611, eligible surviving family members — such as a spouse, children, parents, or estate representative — can file a wrongful death lawsuit seeking financial compensation for their loss.

Compensation in wrongful death cases can include funeral and burial expenses, medical costs prior to death, lost financial support, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship or guidance.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death in Tempe

Tempe’s bustling community, high traffic volume, and growing population make it prone to accidents and tragedies that can result in wrongful death. Our firm handles cases involving:

• Motor vehicle accidents — including car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian fatalities
• Medical malpractice — surgical errors, misdiagnoses, or negligent care
• Workplace or construction accidents
• Defective products or dangerous consumer goods
• Nursing home neglect or abuse
• Premises liability — unsafe properties or public areas
• Criminal acts or DUI-related collisions

Every wrongful death case tells a story of preventable harm. We investigate thoroughly, identify every liable party, and demand accountability on your behalf.

The Sorenson Law Firm’s Approach to Wrongful Death Cases

Our attorneys approach each case with professionalism, diligence, and compassion. We know no amount of money can replace a loved one — but holding those responsible accountable can provide closure, financial security, and a sense of justice.

Our Legal Process Includes:

• Comprehensive investigation – Reviewing police reports, autopsy findings, witness statements, and digital evidence
• Expert collaboration – Working with accident reconstructionists, medical professionals, and economists
• Insurance negotiations – Handling all communications and demands for fair settlements
• Litigation readiness – Taking cases to trial when insurers refuse just compensation

We treat every wrongful death case as deeply personal. Your family will never be treated like a case number — we’ll stand beside you from consultation to resolution.
