The Shocking Truth About Wrongful Death - Part 2
Why Should I Listen To You?
When someone dies because of the fault or negligence of another, it's called wrongful death.
I wrote this book so that you could have good, solid information about wrongful death lawsuits, hiring a lawyer or dealing with an insurance company. Forget the hype. This book is not about hype. It's about the tough, hard fought world of wrongful death and what you can do to improve your odds of winning if you have a legitimate case.
If the death of a loved one has occurred due to the fault of another, whether by motor vehicle accident, medical malpractice, or any other accident including injury on premises - I can help.
My name is Ches Crosbie and I have been representing individuals against insurance companies since 1983. I limit my practice to accident and injury cases, and helping people wronged by big corporations and big government; so, if you want a divorce or a will, or have a traffic ticket, I can't help you.
You may know me from my involvement in the Breast Cancer Testing Class Action against Eastern Health, and the Cameron Inquiry. I am one of the few plaintiff lawyers in Atlantic Canada recommended by peer review publications as having a recognized competence in wrongful death and personal injury. I was selected by the peer review publication Best Lawyers as Personal Injury Lawyer of the Year for 2009. I am frequently invited to speak to other lawyers on a variety of topics at continuing legal education programs around the country. I have written numerous articles for lawyers and consumers. My firm's popular website has a lot of useful consumer articles and links on a variety of subjects. Visit www.ChesCrosbie.com if you want to continue your research on wrongful death claims, class actions, and accident and injury claims.
The personal injury lawyers at my office and I have amassed many years of collective skill and experience in accident and injury law. Obviously, the longer you have been practicing a particular area of the law, the more you will know. We think experience matters.
We realize that a lawsuit may be the most important event going on in your life right now. Your case will be personally handled by one of our lawyers - not a non-lawyer paralegal.
We represent many people who have been injured by the fault or negligence of others. We also represent families of deceased loved ones in wrongful death cases - cases where the fault or negligence of others has caused or contributed to the death. While each case is different, and past results cannot be used to predict future success, we can tell you that we have been privileged to help our clients and their families recover tens of millions of dollars in settlements and judgments from the insurance companies. We did this by providing consumers with useful information, and our clients made an informed choice to ask us to help.
With this new book, we take our commitment to providing useful information to the consumer to a whole new level.

FAQs
General
- I took out a $500 payday loan, repaid it a couple of times at outrageous rates and then lost my job. I couldn't repay the last time, so now a lawyer representing the payday loan company is threatening to sue for $4,500 in damages. Definitely need some legal advice here please.
