Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one is difficult. When your loved one’s death is due to the wrong doing or negligence of another, your pain can be almost impossible to bear. In such tragic situations, you want to have a proven and compassionate attorney helping you obtain just compensation. While money alone cannot make up for all that you have lost, at least it can relieve your financial concerns and provide a sense of closure.

Factors determining the amount of compensation awarded in wrongful death cases:

• The decedent’s income
• The degree to which family members were dependent financially on the decedent
• Expenses incurred by the decedent’s survivors, such as medical costs and funeral expenses
• A monetary value linked to what is known as loss of consortium. This is an estimate of how much suffering survivors will endure from losing the companionship of their loved one

In the case of wrongful death and finding the right attorney for you, there are two key considerations to be aware of:

1. Timing

While it is difficult to think about filing a claim for wrongful death at a time like this, wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within a certain period of time or you risk losing the legal right to seek compensation.
