Accidents and Injuries That Might Qualify for a Wrongful Death

Wrongful death occurs when a person’s negligence, deliberate actions, or reckless behavior cause another person’s death. The victim’s family might suddenly be subjected to emotional distress, loss of companionship or parenting, and loss of household income.

A death caused by negligence can occur in a wide range of scenarios. Our law firm handles wrongful death cases stemming from:

Regardless of how an accident occurred, you deserve to learn your legal options and protect your family’s rights. Our law firm will work with you to see that justice is secured and those responsible for your loved one’s death pay fair compensation for the results of their actions.

Wrongful Death Damages You May Claim

Your family may be entitled to compensation as a result of a loved one's death. The value of your case depends on many factors that are unique to each case. Some damages in a wrongful death case may include:

Pain and Suffering

Accidents that directly or indirectly lead to the death of a person usually involve a period of time that the deceased experienced pain and suffering, fear of impending death, and other emotional trauma. This period of suffering usually entitles the surviving family to substantial damages

Loss of Household Income

If your loved one provided the primary or secondary income for the family, then you may be entitled to recover lost income and projected future income. This may also include lost pension benefits or other financial support that your family has lost as a result of the accident.

Medical Costs

You may have accumulated various medical costs prior to your loved one’s death. These costs may include emergency room visits, surgeries, ICU admissions, or an extended hospital stay. Make sure you keep all medical reports or bills related to the accident. They will be important in calculating the value of your case.

Funeral Costs

Funeral costs today can exceed your financial resources and put your family in immediate debt. You may be able to claim these costs or file a lawsuit to secure them.

Loss of Guidance and Support

The loss of a loved one is never easy. Your family may be suffering from the loss of companionship, guidance, or parenting. All of these items have a value and can be compensated. After a traumatic accident or wrongful death, families are usually unaware of what they can claim or what compensation they're entitled to. Sometimes they are offered a quick settlement by the responsible party and accept, hoping to put the emotional trauma of the accident behind them. However, you do not have to make the same mistake. A wrongful death lawyer can sit down with you and ensure that you receive fair and just monetary compensation. 

Gathering Evidence of a Wrongful Death

It does not matter if the at-fault party did not mean to hurt your loved one. If their negligence or reckless behavior is even partially responsible for a person’s death, they are legally required to fairly compensate the deceased person’s family for their loss. 

We may help you establish who was responsible for the accident by investigating the case and looking for evidence of liability, including:

  • Police or accident reports
  • Eyewitness accounts
  • Photos or videos of the accident
  • Medical records/autopsy reports
  • Expert testimony

We use the evidence to establish who is responsible and how the accident led to the death of a loved one.
