Wrongful Death
Wrongful death occurs when an individual is killed due to the negligence of an individual, corporation or other entity. A claim can arise from an automobile or truck collision, medical malpractice, dangerous or defective product, unsafe premises or other negligent fatal occurrence.
Wrongful death statutes allow a family member, loved one or beneficiary to file a lawsuit on behalf of a decedent whose death was caused due to the negligence of another. Since wrongful death claims often must be asserted within a short time frame, it is important to obtain experienced legal representation as soon as possible.
Among the damages that may be recoverable include:
- Loss of anticipated future earnings of the deceased
- Loss of companionship, care, protection and guidance of the deceased
- Loss of support from the decedent
- Pain, suffering and mental anguish of the deceased
- Expenses associated with the death
