Our Team’s Wrongful Death Practice Areas
Many of our wrongful death practice areas relate to the legal concept of negligence. In these instances, to recover compensation, we must show that another party’s actions or omissions caused your loved one’s passing. Our Winchester wrongful death lawyers handle claims stemming from:
- Car accidents
- Truck collisions
- Motorcycle crashes
- Bicycle and pedestrian collisions
- Dog bites
- Medical malpractice
We also manage cases involving dangerous or defective products, such as medications, medical implants, and dietary supplements. No matter what your case entails, no claim is too complex for the Parrish Law Firm, PLLC.
Recoverable Damages in Your Winchester Wrongful Death Case
Your compensable damages are specific to your situation and largely depend on the details of your loved one’s passing, the circumstances of their accident, and the end-of-life medical care they required. Attorney Jim Parrish and his team evaluate your case from many angles when calculating what constitutes a fair settlement offer.
With our team’s advocacy, we can pursue these damages, either through a settlement or court award:
- Funeral and memorial expenses
- Final healthcare costs, such as hospice
- Property damage expenses (if your loved one’s car was damaged in a collision)
- Loss of the decedent’s income
- Estate management services
- Out-of-pocket wrongful death-related expenses, such as the cost of ordering death certificate copies
- “Pain and suffering” and inconvenience
Under Va. Code § 8.01-244, you generally have two years to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit. While lawsuits are uncommon in these instances, it’s a good idea to keep this deadline in mind. We ensure that your lawsuit is filed on time if necessary, but we need to learn about your wrongful death claim before initiating proceedings.

Why Entrust Your Case to Our Wrongful Death Lawyers in Winchester, VA?
In the early days of his career, Attorney Jim Parrish defended insurance giants from high-value claims.

Now, since founding his own injury law firm, he uses the knowledge he gained from within the industry to your benefit, empowering you to recover fair compensation for your loved one’s passing.
Not only do you benefit from our understanding of wrongful death civil procedures, we also offer:
