Wrongful Death

Wrongful death cases are those that arise from motor vehicle accidents, birth-related deaths, medical negligence/misdiagnosis by a doctor or a hospital's mistake, and workplace accidents. Losing a loved one is devastating. A wrongful death claim occurs when an individual is killed as a result of the negligence on the part of another.

Surviving spouses, parents, siblings and children can file a wrongful death claim. Besides compensation for pain and suffering of the survivors, other factors in the lawsuit can include: loss of companion, medical and funeral expenses, loss of income/support of the deceased, loss of benefits, etc.
