Helping California Families Suffering due to Funeral Home Negligence

When you choose a funeral home or mortuary after a loved one dies, you should be able to trust that they will handle all appropriate matters with care and respect for both your loved one and your family. As a funeral home negligence attorney in Los Angeles, California, however, I know that some funeral homes fail to operate in a reasonable manner or even intentionally mishandle remains. Other funeral homes may cause financial injury by taking advantage of already grieving and vulnerable families. At the Steven M. Sweat, Personal Injury Lawyers, APC, P.C., we are here to help families who suffer emotional or financial injury in an already difficult time. If you believe you have been the victims of funeral home negligence, call for a completely free consultation at 310-592-0445 as soon as possible.

How can a Funeral Home Injure Family Members?

There are many ways in which a funeral home can act in a negligent or intentional manner to cause harm to families of the deceased placed in their care. Some examples include:

Wrongfully taking valuables from the body
Failing to correctly embalm a body
Failing to properly store a body
Cremating the incorrect body
Losing ashes
Losing a body
Putting two bodies in one coffin
Stealing organs for sale
Dropping or mishandling a body
Intentional abuse of a body
Financial mistreatment of the family
Violations of federal or California law

Licensed funeral homes should have a thorough understanding of the standard of care that is expected of them under the law. When a funeral home fails to meet this standard of care in some way, it can injure family members and the funeral home should be held liable for all of the related losses to the family. Families may seek compensation not only for monetary losses but also for emotional distress, pain and suffering, and more.

I have known Steven for some time now and when his services were required he jumped in and took control of my cases. I had two and they were handled with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. He went the extra mile regardless of the bumps in the road. I can not see me using any other attorney and I would recommend him to any of my family and friends. Josie A.

Steven was vital during our most trying time. He was referred by a friend after an accident that involved a family member. While he was critical and lying in the hospital, Steven was kind, patient and knowledgeable about what we were going through. Following our loss, Steven became a tough and aggressive negotiator and made sure that we receive a huge compensation. I would refer Steven in fact, this happened 2 years ago and I still speak highly of his service. Cheryl S.

Mr. Sweat is a pitbull in the courtroom as well as settlement negotiations - You can't have a better equipped attorney in your corner! It is a pleasure working as colleagues together on numerous cases. He can get the job done. Jonathan K.

Because of Steven Sweat, my medical support was taken care of. Plus, I had more money to spare for my other bills. Steven is not only an excellent personal injury lawyer, providing the best legal advice, but also a professional lawyer who goes beyond his call of duty just to help his clients! He stood up for me and helped me get through the process. I would definitely recommend. I couldn't think of any better lawyer than him. MiraJane C.

I must tell anyone, if you need a great attorney, Steve sweat is the guy! I had an awful car accident and had no idea where to turn. He had so much to deal with because my accident was a 4 car pile up. Not to mention all the other cars were behind me and they were not wanting to settle in any way! He never stopped working for me and had my best interest at heart! Audra W.

I believe I made the best choice with Steven M Sweat, Personal Injury. I was very reluctant to go forward with my personal injury claim. I had a valid claim and I needed a professional attorney to handle it. I felt so much better when I let Steven take my case. His team did everything right and I am very satisfied. Stia P.

I have to say that Steve has been exemplary! I met Steve at a point with my case that I was ready to give up. He took the time and dealt with all of my concerns. Most importantly, he was present and listened to what I was going through. He was able to turn things around, put me and my case on the right track! The results were better that expected! Highly recommend!! Cody A.
