What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death occurs when a person dies as a result of another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act.
These claims are civil cases brought on behalf of surviving family members. While a criminal case may also proceed in certain circumstances, a wrongful death lawsuit focuses on financial compensation for the losses suffered by surviving loved ones.
A wrongful death claim allows families to recover damages for:
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Final medical bills
  • Loss of financial support
  • Loss of companionship and guidance
  • Emotional suffering
  • Loss of household services
  • Loss of future income and benefits
Our role is to calculate the full financial and emotional impact of your loss — and pursue maximum compensation accordingly.
