Question:

Can the heirs hire separate attorneys for a wrongful death claim?

Answer:

Sometimes there’s one family member who’ll have one attorney in a wrongful death case and another family member who’ll have another attorney in a wrongful death case. Yes, they can both proceed with their own attorney in the same case. Can the Heirs Hire Separate Wrongful Death Attorneys? Sometimes people don’t want to participate in the case at all. That’s okay, too. In other words, we’ll have them sign away their right to proceed with the case, and we’re then able to proceed with the case. Different family members can have different attorneys in the same case, as well. Yes, that does happen. I just had a situation in a wrongful death case where one attorney that was representing one part of the family decided he didn’t want to proceed with the case, and so that family member came to me, and now I represent the whole family. Every case is different, but yes, different family members can have different attorneys. If you want to discuss your case and where you are in a case, give us a call at my office in Cheyenne.
