"An Amazing Lawyer"

Bill Kendall is an amazing lawyer. Through my whole case he gave me the peace of mind knowing that someone was always there looking out for my best interests. Whenever I called, it was Bill that answered the phone, not an exchange, a clerk, or a receptionist. Not having to talk to clerks or receptionists, leave messages, then wait, is one of the things that made working with Bill so awesome. If I could leave 6 stars I would.

View On GoogleCommon Causes of Wrongful Death
Wrongful death can have many different causes. Among the most common are:
Car Accidents
When motorists fail to pay attention to the road or obey relevant traffic laws, the outcome can be devastating. A driver who texts while driving, drives recklessly, or is intoxicated can cause a catastrophic accident in the blink of an eye. Even if the victim takes care to wear a seatbelt and even if their airbag deploys, injuries can be fatal.
Defective Products
When products are designed, manufactured, and sold, certain safety standards must be followed. If a manufacturer or other entity fails to follow these standards, the fallout can be devastating. Faulty tools, medical devices, and auto parts are often responsible for fatal injuries.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a legal obligation to maintain a safe place for customers, guests, and other people who have a legal right to enter the property. Hazards such as uneven flooring or poorly lit stairs can be easy to ignore, but the truth is that they can easily result in fatal accidents. In these cases, Bill Kendall is ready to stand up for the rights of the bereaved and pursue maximum restitution through a wrongful death claim.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are frequently more catastrophic than accidents involving non-commercial vehicles due mainly to the sheer size and weight of 18 wheelers, dump trucks, and tow trucks. If your loved one has died due to the negligent actions of a truck driver, a truck manufacturer, or a trucking company, our firm is prepared to hold all liable parties responsible for your losses.
If your loved one has lost their life due to any act of negligence, let our wrongful death lawyer help.
Proving Liability IN A WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT
To establish liability for a wrongful death, you will need to be able to demonstrate the victim was owed a duty and that duty was breached. For example, a property owner may have failed to resolve a hazard, or a driver may have been texting while driving, compromising their ability to avoid harming other motorists. Each wrongful death case is different and the approach to the case will vary. When our wrongful death lawyer takes your case, he will examine the facts and find the evidence needed to prove liability and make a claim.
