Wrongful Death - Pursuing Justice After a Loved One's Death
Wrongful Death
August 22, 2024
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. Wrongful death lawsuits provide a way for surviving family members to seek justice and compensation for their loss.
A wrongful death lawsuit allows family members to hold the responsible party accountable for their loved one’s death. These cases often arise from situations such as car accidents, medical malpractice, or workplace incidents. Compensation can cover funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering.
Each state has its own rules about who can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Typically, immediate family members like spouses, children, and sometimes parents can bring a claim. In some cases, other dependents or representatives of the deceased’s estate may also be eligible.
To succeed in a wrongful death lawsuit, you must prove that the defendant’s negligence directly caused the death of your loved one. This often involves gathering evidence, including witness statements, expert testimony, and accident reports, to demonstrate that the defendant’s actions were responsible for the fatality.
The damages in a wrongful death case can include both economic and non-economic losses. Economic damages cover financial contributions the deceased would have made, such as wages, while non-economic damages address emotional suffering, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
