Information About Wrongful Death Claims
In order to file a wrongful death claim, you must be able to prove that the person you are suing owed a duty of care to your loved one. That could be as simple as a driver having a duty to drive legally and safely, or as complex as a doctor having a duty to properly diagnose a patient. Next, you must be able to prove that the person you are suing violated that duty. Finally, you must prove that the violation of the duty of care was the cause of your loved one’s death.
If these elements are proven, you may be compensated for:
- Medical Expenses
- Funeral or Burial Costs
- Pain and Suffering
- Loss of Financial Support
- Loss of Benefits
- Loss of Companionship
