Wrongful Death
Few experiences in life are as difficult to process psychologically as the sudden or accidental death of a husband, wife, mother, father, son or daughter. If a family member died in an accident or as the result of someone's negligence, you need time to grieve. Our Bethesda wrongful death attorneys at McGowan & Cecil, LLC have worked with enough bereaved family members to understand a family's need to take time for mourning and burial of the deceased, but we also need to act promptly and preserve the evidence. Be assured that the defense is doing so. Let us help you.
