Wrongful Death

Wrongful death claims are civil actions made by the family members of an individual who has passed away due to the negligence, recklessness, or deliberate actions of another. Some of the most common causes of wrongful death include motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents and medical malpractice. Wrongful death claims are designed to provide compensation for family members who depended upon the deceased for financial and emotional support. Affected family members may be able to recover damages for:

  • Funeral and Death Expenses
  • Loss of Household Support
  • Out-of-Pocket Expenses
  • Costs of visiting the deceased prior to passing
