The Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, Can Hold the Other Party Liable for Your Loved One’s Wrongful Death
At the Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, our team has helped many clients in Northern Virginia and other parts of the Commonwealth collect damages after they lost loved ones due to the negligent actions of others. We want to put our resources to work for you.
Our attorneys can help you build a compelling case for wrongful death. For a wrongful death claim to be successful, we will need to demonstrate several things:
- Another party’s actions caused the loss of your loved one;
- The other party had a specific duty to your loved one and failed to uphold it;
- Because of the passing of your loved one, you suffered economic and non-economic damages.
Loss of a Loved One Caused by Another Party
We first must demonstrate that your loved one’s passing resulted from the actions of another party. Our team will investigate, collecting evidence to show what happened and who was responsible.
We will review the report from the Fairfax Police Department, talk to witnesses, evaluate medical records, examine photo and video footage, and study any other evidence relevant to your case.
Failure to Uphold Duty
We then must show that the other party had a specific duty to your loved one and failed to uphold it. Sometimes, the duty is clear — your loved one was killed by another driver who disregarded their duty to look out for other motorists, for instance.
In other situations, it takes more work and more evidence to establish a duty from the other party to your loved one. No matter the case, we can make it clear that the responsible party owed your loved one a specific duty and failed to uphold it, resulting in the loss of your loved one.
You Incurred Economic or Non-Economic Damages
The final element of your wrongful death claim involves establishing the economic and non-economic damages you have incurred as a result of your loved one passing away.
Economic damages are those we can quantify in dollar terms, such as funeral expenses, medical bills, and the loss of your loved one’s future income. Non-economic damages are those that are more subjective and not easily quantified, such as sorrow and mental anguish and loss of care and companionship.

Pedestrian or Bicycle Accident
Pedestrians and bicyclists have many rights to the road in Virginia, and drivers must defer to them in most situations. If your loved one died in a pedestrian or bicycle accident, our Fairfax pedestrian accident lawyers can go after the motorist for wrongful death damages.
Animal Attack
Pet owners are typically responsible for injuries caused by their animals if they knew the pet had a history of aggression. If your loved one died from injuries suffered in an animal attack, our Fairfax dog bite lawyers will investigate the owners as well as the animal itself.
