The people that are eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit are:

  • Surviving spouse or domestic partner
  • Surviving children
  • Grandchildren (in cases where the deceased person’s children are deceased)
  • Other minor children that were dependent on the deceased for significant financial support, such as stepchildren

What Damages Are Available in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

If you prevail in your claim you could receive comprehensive financial compensation for the economic and non-economic losses you have suffered.

These include the costs of:

  • Medical expenses incurred in relation to the fatal injury or illness
  • Loss of earnings and other financial contributions which you could have reasonably expected to receive
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Value of lost personal service, advice and training
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of consortium
  • Loss of society and companionship

Seek Justice for Your Loved One

We understand that no amount of money can replace the tragic loss of a loved one. Your wrongful death claim is about more than the money. In addition to claiming financial compensation, our goal in a wrongful death case is to help our clients obtain justice by holding the other party accountable for his or her negligent actions.

By taking legal action now, you may not only be able to receive monetary damages, you could also help to protect others from suffering similar injuries in the future, whether you are suing a drunk driver, a negligent medical practitioner, or the manufacturer of a defective product.
