A dedicated member of our team could help you understand your options for legal recourse.

丧葬虐待案件的类型

这些事件来自我们处理过的真实丧葬虐待案件:

  • 在防腐处理之前从死者身上获取器官出售给生物供应公司;
  • 从死者口中盗取金馅进行转售;
  • 火葬时尸体混在一起,陌生人的火化遗骸永远混在一起;
  • 将火化后的遗体弃置在公墓花坛中,而不是将遗体撒入大海;
  • 在没有适当冷藏的情况下以有损尊严的方式储存尸体;
  • 将死者火化遗骸的一部分冲入下水道,以清理拙劣的火葬场;
  • 丢失的火化遗体存放在太平间金库中。

The mortuary malpractice attorneys at Brayton Purcell LLP helped confirm the rights of people to sue for damages whenever their loved one or close friend is the victim of the desecration of funeral home services. The California Supreme Court decision in Christensen v. Superior Court (1991); 54 Cal.3d 868 remains the leading case authority establishing these rights.

我们在涉及殡葬服务和火葬处理不当的案件中取得了全国最高的判决和和解。这包括对殡仪馆的惩罚性赔偿,因为该殡仪馆丢失了家庭亲人的火化遗体,并试图将损失归咎于其中一名家庭成员( May L. Conway v. Gates, Kingsey & Gates (1992);案件号 1997)。 WEC 113827,洛杉矶高等法院,加利福尼亚州)。

在经验丰富的太平间医疗事故律师的帮助下追查殡葬滥用案件

我们强烈认为,集体诉讼违背了殡仪馆或火葬场不当行为受害者的个人最佳利益。我们反对使用它们,因为在这一法律实践领域,集体诉讼往往会导致个人索赔人的赔偿减少,而集体诉讼律师比受害者受益更多。我们相信,积极追查个人殡葬虐待案件可以实现更公平的补救措施,并对殡仪馆行业提供有效的制约。
