WRONGFUL DEATH
Grieving for a lost loved one is difficult regardless of the situation. Add to it the knowledge that someone else was responsible for your loss and it is only fair and reasonable that you would want to seek justice. While a legal case can never bring back your loved one, nor ever come close to putting a monetary value on their life, wrongful death statutes were created to help you recover some of the monetary losses you may have endured, including unexpected funeral and burial expenses, loss of family income, as well as compensate you for your emotional pain and suffering.
The loss of your loved one may be considered “wrongful death” if they were killed because of another’s wrongful act, negligence, or recklessness. Such situations may involve:
- A vehicle accident (including car, truck, bus, boat, airplane, etc)
- Medical malpractice or nursing home neglect or abuse
- Exposure to toxins
- Workplace accidents
- Construction accidents
- Defective or dangerous products
- Premise accidents
- Train and subway accidents
To successfully seek compensation in a wrongful death case, the survivors must initiate their claim within a certain period of time, known legally as a statute of limitations.
