Saline Wrongful Death Lawsuits Attorney

Attorney Robert H. Roether has been practicing law for 47 years, and spent most of that time helping deserving clients with personal injury claims. He understands the toll it takes on an individual and a family when there is an accident, and how much worse that becomes when an accident results in the loss of a loved one.

Because he truly  cares about every victim, he does his own work instead of handing off the responsibility to assistants. He wants to maximize the recovery for each victim, because he knows that no amount of money can make up for the injuries and losses suffered because of someone else’s negligence.

What Kind of Damages can you Recover?

Roether will talk to you about your losses and help you decide how you want to proceed.
