Lost a Loved One Because of Someone Else's Negligence?

Take the time you need to grieve. Cal can handle the legal process.​

Fatal accidents happen on Arizona's highways and city streets, on unsafe properties, and in places where people should have been safe. When a death could have been prevented, families are often left with grief, unanswered questions, and financial pressures they never expected.

​

Cal Mundell represents eligible family members in wrongful death claims throughout Arizona. He handles each case personally and with care, working to hold those responsible accountable and to recover what Arizona law allows for your family's loss.

​

What a Wrongful Death Claim Means for Your Family

​

A wrongful death claim allows certain family members to seek compensation when a loved one dies because of another person's negligence or wrongful conduct. Arizona allows this claim even when the conduct that caused the death is also a crime, and the civil case is separate from any criminal case.

​

Arizona law also limits who can bring the claim. It must be filed by a surviving spouse, a child, a parent or guardian, or the personal representative of the estate. One claim is brought on behalf of all eligible survivors, so families often need to decide together who will act.

Cal can guide your family through each step: explaining who may file, investigating what happened, and pursuing fair compensation while you focus on each other.

What Families Can Do After a Fatal Accident

In the days and weeks after a loss, legal matters may be the last thing on your mind. When your family is ready, these steps can help protect your rights:

1. Request the police or incident report. It documents what happened and who was involved.

2. Keep important documents together. Save medical bills, funeral and burial receipts, and records of your loved one's income.

3. Hold on to any evidence. Photos, videos, messages, and damaged property may all help show what happened.

4. Write down names of witnesses. People who saw the accident, or who spoke with your loved one afterward, can be important.

5. Be careful with insurance calls. You do not have to give a recorded statement or accept an early offer.

6. Speak with Cal Mundell Law. Arizona's deadlines apply even while a family is grieving. A conversation early on can help protect your family's options.

​

You don't have to do all of this alone. Cal can help gather what's needed.

​

Investigating Your Family's Wrongful Death Claim

Families deserve clear answers about how their loved one died. Depending on the circumstances, Cal may review:

• Police and accident reports

• Scene photos and physical evidence

• Traffic camera, dash cam, and surveillance footage

• Witness statements

• Medical and hospital records

• The coroner's or medical examiner's report

• Driver or property owner records, where available

• Vehicle data and trucking records, where available

• Records of your loved one's income and contributions to the household

• Funeral, burial, and final medical expenses

​

Every case is different. Cal uses the evidence to establish what happened, identify who is responsible, and build a claim that reflects your family's loss.

​

Compensation in an Arizona Wrongful Death Claim

No amount of money can replace a loved one. Arizona law allows the jury to award damages it considers fair and just in light of the family's loss.

Depending on the case, a wrongful death claim may include compensation for:

• Loss of love, companionship, and guidance

• Emotional suffering of the surviving family members

• Loss of the financial support your loved one would have provided

• Loss of household services and care

• Medical expenses before your loved one's death

• Funeral and burial expenses

• Other losses caused by the death

​

Under Arizona law, a wrongful death recovery generally isn't subject to the debts of the person who died, unless the claim is brought for the estate.
