There are many matters that need to be sorted out when a loved one has died due to someone else's negligence. I can help resolve the legal matters you are facing and work to bring you justice and compensation for your losses.

I am attorney Walter Costello, Jr. and I represent families throughout Massachusetts in wrongful death cases. I am very experienced and knowledgeable about these cases, and I pride myself on having a calming effect on my clients. Contact me to discuss the details of your case.

Understanding Your Rights

A wrongful death claim is one made by the living, pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 229. You are entitled to receive damages from the liable party for the emotional and financial hardships they have caused you. I can help you receive damages for:

• Net economic loss: Money that you would have been entitled to or shared if he or she had been able to continue living and working.
• Loss of services, protection, care, assistance, society, companionship, comfort, guidance, counsel and advice
• Damages for pain and suffering by the deceased prior to their passing

I understand these situations are very personal, and I will take great care to explain the details of your case every step along the way.

Providing Experienced Legal Counsel in Peabody

In my practice, I have successfully worked on cases where people have died from drowning in a pool, car crash, construction accidents, trailer truck accidents or other accidents. I am very experienced and knowledgeable in these cases. If the deceased person did not plan an estate before the time of their death, I can assist in starting a procedure to open an estate and deal with the often confusing legal process.

My goal is to help you deal with all legal issues pertaining to your loss and provide the stability you need throughout the process. I will let you know what to expect and keep you informed during the case.
