The death of a loved one is always devastating. When that death occurs out of nowhere, a senseless accident based on another’s negligent actions, it is even more tragic.
A death is ruled a “wrongful death” when a person dies due to another party’s transgressions or negligence—medical malpractice, for example, or a workplace accident caused by improperly maintained machinery. Obviously, no amount of money can make up for the emotional toll of losing a loved one. Nevertheless, a wrongful death can also saddle the victim’s family with many financial costs—funeral expenses, lost earnings, loss of family insurance or future pension benefits. For this, the family of a wrongful death victim has the right to seek financial compensation for their devastating loss.
Filing a wrongful death claim is no simple matter. It is important for families to file such a claim as soon as possible, a fact that often means plunging into complicated legal waters while still dealing with the overwhelming grief of losing a loved one.
