Baltimore, MD personal injury lawyer Rick Jaklitsch talks about the biggest challenges faced in handling a wrongful death case. He explains that the biggest challenge in handling wrongful death cases is often securing sufficient insurance coverage. This may involve coverage through the vehicle owner, the driver, or underinsured/umbrella policies. If those are insufficient, he investigates whether any resident relatives of the client at the time have adequate coverage.

Another critical aspect of wrongful death cases is assembling all potential beneficiaries and ensuring they are aligned, working together toward the same goal. Presenting a unified front is essential when negotiating with insurance companies, as a cohesive team strengthens the client’s position and credibility.
