Wrongful Death Mediation

Wrongful death mediation is a voluntary and confidential process used to resolve legal disputes after someone dies due to another party’s negligence or misconduct. Instead of going through a lengthy and costly court trial, the involved parties—typically the surviving family members and the defendant (such as a company, hospital, or individual)—meet with a neutral third-party mediator. The mediator helps both sides communicate, understand each other’s positions, and work toward a fair settlement. This process is often less emotionally draining than litigation and can lead to quicker resolutions. It gives families a chance to seek justice and compensation for funeral costs, lost income, emotional suffering, and more—without the stress of a courtroom battle. Mediation also keeps the details private, offering closure in a respectful setting. For many grieving families, wrongful death mediation provides a more compassionate and efficient path to resolution compared to a traditional lawsuit.
