Wrongful Death

Wrongful Death Attorney – Seeking Justice for Fatal Accidents

Losing a loved one unexpectedly is one of life’s hardest moments—especially when it was preventable. If someone else’s negligence caused a fatal accident, Mississippi law allows families to pursue a wrongful death claim. At Frank Shaw Law Firm, we help grieving families in Kosciusko and surrounding communities seek justice and financial stability after tragedy.

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in Mississippi?

A wrongful death occurs when someone dies because of another person’s careless or intentional actions. Mississippi law allows certain surviving family members—typically the spouse, children, or parents—to bring a wrongful death claim. These claims are usually filed on behalf of all legal beneficiaries through one combined lawsuit.



It’s not about assigning blame. It’s about holding the responsible party accountable and ensuring your family isn’t left with emotional and financial burdens alone.
