Unexpectedly losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things a person can experience
Whether it be a parent, spouse, partner, or child, family members are left in shambles after the death of a loved one, oftentimes facing a mountain of debt and stress, all while dealing with a sudden void in their lives. Matters only get worse and more agonizing when the death was suddenly caused by a negligent person or entity. Many times, a victim’s family member is also left having to deal with medical expenses and other unexpected costs.
One way to shoulder such a large burden and obtain justice is by filing a wrongful death lawsuit. Situations where a wrongful death lawsuit can be filed include:
- Car accidents
- Medical malpractice (including the death of an unborn child)
- Public transportation
- Dangerous conditions on public or private property
- Dangerous roads or defective construction
- Tourism / activities (scuba diving, rock climbing, skydiving, etc)
- Violence in the workplace or public area
- Excessive force by police or security professionals
Who can sue
- Surviving Spouse
- Domestic Partners
- Children
- Grandchildren (if the deceased person’s children are deceased)
- Minors who relied on the victim for at least 50% of their support
- Anyone else entitled to the victim’s assets
