Situations That May Lead to Wrongful Deaths

A wrongful death occurs when a person dies because of someone's negligence, recklessness, or intentional conduct. Common situations in which people may be wrongfully killed include:

Motor Vehicle Accidents: Fatal car crashes, truck collisions, motorcycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents may occur because of driver negligence, which may include distracted driving, speeding, intoxicated driving, fatigued driving, or other careless actions. Drivers, trucking companies, or vehicle manufacturers may be held liable for wrongful deaths in these situations.
Premises Liability: Fatal injuries can occur due to slip and fall accidents, fires, or other hazards on unsafe properties. In these cases, property owners or managers may be liable for their failure to correct hazards or take other reasonable steps to prevent injuries.
Dog Bites: While animal attacks do not always result in severe or fatal injuries, a dog bite may be fatal if it results in severe blood loss, dangerous infections such as rabies, or brain injuries. A dog's owner may be held liable for the fatal injuries inflicted by their animal.
Violent Acts: Intentional assaults or other crimes can result in a victim's death. While the perpetrator may face criminal charges, a conviction typically will not provide victims with any relief. A civil claim can help ensure that a person will be held financially responsible for the ways their actions have affected the victim's family.

The Impact of Wrongful Death on Families

The loss of a family member can leave an emotional and financial void that can be overwhelming. Families may experience issues such as:

Emotional Pain and Suffering: Family members may need to deal with grief, trauma, and the emotional devastation of losing a spouse, parent, or child.
Loss of Financial Support: The deceased may have been the primary wage earner for a family, leaving dependents without income and causing them to struggle to meet their basic needs and pay for future expenses.
Loss of Companionship and Guidance: The absence of a loved one's care, guidance, and presence can deeply affect spouses, children, and other relatives.
Unexpected Expenses: Funeral and burial costs can create financial stress for families who are already grappling with the loss of a loved one.

Relentless in pursuit. Committed to the fight.

Damages in Wrongful Death Cases

A wrongful death claim can help a family recover compensation that will address the financial and non-financial losses they have experienced due to a loved one's death. The damages in these cases may include:

Medical Expenses: A family may be reimbursed for the costs of the care and treatment the deceased received before their passing.
Loss of Income: A family may receive compensation that addresses the financial impact of the loss of their loved one's earnings and benefits throughout the rest of their natural life.
Loss of Companionship and Guidance: In recognition of the emotional losses suffered by spouses, children, and other family members, compensation may address their inability to have a relationship with their loved one.
Loss of Services: A family member's death can result in a loss of the contributions they would have made to their household, including childcare and other services. Compensation can address these losses, ensuring that a family's ongoing needs can be met.
Funeral and Burial Costs: Compensation may cover the expenses related to laying a loved one to rest.
Mental Anguish: Family members may receive compensation for the emotional pain and suffering they have endured.
