The term "wrongful death" means a person's death was due to another party's negligence. You may file a wrongful death claim against any individual, group or company. Filing a wrongful death claim can be extremely difficult for families. Loved ones are confronted with a complex legal mater at a time that they are still trying to heal from their recent loss. The best way to deal with a wrongful death is to allow a qualified law firm to handle the matter. In addition to gaining the expertise of licensed lawyers, it allows the family to let go of a huge responsibility. Let your lawyers deal with the investigations, insurance forms, and other matters relating to the wrongful death. Loved ones need to focus on healing, not insurance hassles and legal issues.
A claim for wrongful death may include compensation for the following:
- Reimbursement for all medical expenses incurred as a result of the negligence.
- Reimbursement for the loss of any future income.
- Reimbursement for property damage, if applicable.
- Reimbursement for any future services normally provided to you by the person who has died.
- Reimbursement for loss of consortium, meaning a spouse's right to the companionship, help and affection from the person who has died.
- Reimbursement for any punitive damages if applicable.
