What constitutes a wrongful death?

Losing a loved one is a tragedy no matter what circumstances surround the loss. However, according to the law, some deaths are “wrongful”. If a person is killed as the result of another person’s wrongful conduct, the death becomes wrongful according to the law. If another party’s negligent, reckless, intentional, or careless action was the cause of another person’s death or significantly contributed to another person’s death, a wrongful death lawsuit may arise.

Some of the most common causes of a wrongful death lawsuit include:

• automobile accident including cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians
• boating accidents
• medical malpractice
• slip and fall accidents
• defective products
• DUI (drugs or alcohol)
• violence and abuse
• workplace accidents
• negligent supervision (nursing homes or daycares)

What damages are available to the surviving family members?

Although you can never put a price on the loss of a loved one, the judicial system relies on a monetary compensation system in wrongful death lawsuits. While this compensation will not bring back your family member or fill the void that has been created by their loss, this is the best compensation the law can provide. Monetary compensation can help you provide for your family as you deal with this tragic event.

Some things you may be able to receive compensation for include:

• funeral costs
• reimbursement for medical expenses and personal care costs from the date of the accident through the date of the death
• the victim’s physical and emotional pain and suffering before death
• loss of financial support including lost past, present, and future wages of the deceased
• loss of future services provided for the family by the deceased
