Consequences of a Wrongful Death

The wrongful death of a loved one is a devastating time for the family. Families experience anguish caused by the death and need to meet medical, hospital and funeral expenses at the same time. Losing the financial support provided by a loved one can cause serious difficulties for the family. And although money cannot replace the companionship and emotional support provided by the loved one, the domestic activities of the family will need to continue. Child care, yard work, cooking, and home repair may become a new burden and expense for the grieving family. The survivors should not have to worry about finances as they begin to rebuild their lives after a wrongful death.

Causes of Wrongful Death

A wrongful death occurs when a person is fatally injured because of the negligence or misconduct of another. Wrongful or accidental death claims often result from fatal motor vehicle accidents, faulty products, airplane accidents, and medical malpractice. Surviving family members may seek compensation for a wrongful death for the victim's pain and suffering, lost future earnings and benefits, medical bills and funeral expenses, and compensation for the injuries that the surviving family and/or estate have suffered due to the victim's death.

How a Wrongful Death Attorney Can Help

We help families determine the financial damages of a wrongful death by calculating things such as the degree of financial dependence on the deceased family member; the relationship of the deceased to the claimants; and the anticipated lifetime earnings of the wrongful death victim. Our attorneys are experienced in developing such calculations with sensitivity. We work with families to make sure that claims are both complete and accurate.
