DeMayo Law Offices, LLP represents surviving family members and estates in wrongful death claims throughout North Carolina. The firm handles wrongful death cases arising from motor vehicle crashes, drunk driving, tractor-trailer collisions, workplace deaths, and premises liability.

In North Carolina, a wrongful death action is brought by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate on behalf of the beneficiaries. The firm investigates every potentially responsible party, including the at-fault driver, employers, property owners, and, in drunk driving cases, the bars, restaurants, or social hosts who served the impaired driver.

**Representative wrongful death results:**

$12,000,000 — Husband killed by falling merchandise at a warehouse; wrongful death and negligent infliction of emotional distress claims. Initial offer $1,000,000. Mecklenburg County, 2022.
