How Do Wrongful Death Lawsuits Happen?
The death of a loved one is always tragic, but it is especially devastating when the death could have been prevented. If your loved one died due to someone else’s negligence, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
A wrongful death claim can be filed when someone dies due to the negligent or intentional actions of another person or entity. To file a wrongful death lawsuit, usually, a close family member of the deceased will need to be appointed as the personal representative of the estate. The personal representative will then file the lawsuit on behalf of the estate.
In a wrongful death claim, the family of the deceased can seek compensation for their losses, which can include:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical bills
- Loss of income and benefits
- Loss of companionship
