Wrongful Death

Wrongful death suits are very common in civil courts. Anytime a person is fatally injured due to the negligence or maleficence of another individual, the family members of the victim can file suit against the guilty party for wrongful death. A wrongful death claim can be brought against individuals, as well as companies and government agencies.

 

Those eligible for suing on behalf of the deceased include:

  • The spouse
  • The common-law partner
  • The parents
  • The grandparents
  • The siblings
  • The children

 

Damages recoverable by the victim’s dependents:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Expenses incurred by families as a result of their family member’s death
  • Damages for loss of guidance, care, and companionship
  • Damages for loss of housekeeping services performed
  • Damages for the lost shared family income that would have been earned by the deceased
