There is such grief and a sense of loss when someone dies. It is as natural as the joys of a birth. But when someone is killed as a result of negligence or misconduct, in addition to the normal grieve for the loss some family members want the person or entity responsible for the death to be held accountable. When that has happened an experienced advocate is needed to make sure the person or entity responsible is held accountable.

The law allows families to pursue claims for the financial and personal losses that have resulted from the death of a family member.

Whether the death was the result of a car crash, defective product, medical malpractice, an explosion, a fire, a machinery accident, drugs or medical/surgical complications, we can help.

At Gallagher Davis, LLP, we have the knowledge and experience to represent survivors of victims killed by the wrongful acts of others. This includes determining the potentially responsible parties, assessing the full extent of the loss and obtaining financial recoveries that will help the survivors begin to rebuild their lives.

What Our Clients Say...

"Matt Davis went out of his way to make sure my needs were met. He drove 75 miles to meet me halfway between Sikeston and St. Louis, just so I wouldn’t have to drive the whole distance. I was very satisfied with how prompt Matt was about getting things done, and couldn’t have been more satisfied with the way things turned out. At the very beginning Matt told me it was going to be a hard case to win, and he asked me what I wanted to do. I said I wanted to carry on and he did. Matt did a very good job, and he did very good by me."-Shannon
