A wrongful death is the result of negligence, carelessness, or a reckless act of another person or corporation. Some common causes of wrongful death include: car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, bus accidents, drunk drivers, pedestrian accidents, construction accidents, and defective products.
A family who has lost a loved one due to the negligence, carelessness or intentional actions of another may be entitled to monetary compensation under wrongful death law. Although no amount of compensation could ever replace a loved one or take away the pain associated with a loss, obtaining justice through monetary damages can bring a sense of justice and ease financial worries related to the family member’s death.
If a wrongful death has occurred to a loved one, you may be entitled to the following damages:
Compensation for your pain and suffering
Recovering the loss of earnings of the descendant
Compensation for your loss of companionship
Reimbursement for burial and funeral expenses
Recovery of your present and future financial losses
Reimbursement for your out of pocket expenses
Reimbursement or payments of any medical expenses incurred
