Los Angeles, CA personal injury attorney Narbeh Shirvanian discusses his experience in handling wrongful death cases. Over the past 13 years, the individual has navigated a diverse range of cases, with a particular emphasis on the most challenging ones involving families coping with the loss of a loved one. In the domain of wrongful death, their professional journey encompasses instances where they were the initial lawyer engaged, actively participating from the investigative stage through pleading, filing lawsuits, proving allegations, and even overseeing trials. Notably, they have also been called upon to step in as counsel when families expressed dissatisfaction with prior legal representation. Their wealth of experience encompasses a broad spectrum of scenarios within the realm of wrongful death.
In wrongful death cases, the primary focus often centers around the exploration of damages rather than liability. Life expectancy assumes significant importance, prompting insurance companies to enlist life expectancy experts who offer testimony based on statistical tables codified in jury instruction statutes applied during trials. These experts evaluate the anticipated lifespan of the deceased individual. Engaging in discussions with family members proves to be a challenging aspect, particularly when aiming for resolution through early settlements or pursuing a fair amount in a verdict. These deliberations require considerations of factors like degenerative issues, preconditions, and challenges related to life expectancy. Despite the intricacies of these conversations, the individual has adeptly navigated them on numerous occasions, showcasing extensive experience in handling such delicate and sensitive matters.
