Wrongful Death

Wrongful death claims are the result of a loop hole in the law in which activities resulting in a person’s injury could be sanctioned but activities resulting in a person’s death couldn’t. Since a dead person cannot bring a lawsuit, this is the way the survivors of the victim (most commonly spouses and children) may be entitled to compensation for the pain and suffering, loss of companionship, loss of future earnings, and benefits lost due to the victim’s death (life insurance, 401k). Compensation is also available to cover medical expenses, burial and funeral expenses, and all other unexpected out of pocket expenses incurred.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death

Wrongful death can arise from a number of circumstances. The most common are medical malpractice resulting in death, automobile or airplane accidents, occupational exposure to hazardous conditions or substances, criminal behavior, or death during a supervised activity.
