Things to Consider

Medical malpractice, slip-and-fall accidents, work-related accidents, nursing home abuse, defective product or drug injuries, exposure to hazardous materials, and car accidents are a few types of injuries that can potentially lead to a wrongful death and lend to loved ones being able to file a claim.

Wrongful death claims can be filed if one of three circumstances apply to the events surrounding your loved one’s death:

1. intentional actions, meaning your loved one was injured by someone who deliberately meant to harm him or her
2. negligence, meaning your loved one was harmed by someone’s careless actions
3. strict liability, meaning a manufacturer produced a defective, unsafe product

The compensation of a wrongful death claim depends on several factors, including relationship to the lost loved one. Parents, as well as spouses, can sue for loss of companionship, mental anguish, and potential financial contributions of the deceased. The claims also cover medical and burial expenses as well as any pain and suffering the deceased experienced.
