Why Should I Pursue a Wrongful Death Claim?

The unexpected passing of a loved one may leave a family with many expenses such as hospital bills and funeral or burial costs. Children may be left without a way to support themselves and without the means to pay for their schooling. In order to help with these tragic burdens, family members or beneficiaries of the decedent generally file wrongful death lawsuits or claims. Damages that may be recovered include:

  • Expenses associated with death, e.g., medical and funeral bills;
  • Income that the family would have received;
  • Lost benefits, such as insurance, caused by the death;
  • Loss of inheritance from an untimely death;
  • Pain, suffering or mental anguish suffered by the survivors of the deceased;
  • Loss of companionship, care, or protection; and
  • Punitive damages, intended to punish wrongdoers.
