A wrongful death is a type of death that occurs when a person is killed by another person’s negligence, misconduct or illegal actions.

Who can file can Wrongful Death Claim?

Have you lost a loved one due to another person’s negligence, misconduct or illegal actions?  If so, you may be allowed to file a wrongful death claim.  In order to file a wrongful death claim, you must be able to sufficiently prove several things.  First, that you are a relative of the deceased.  You must be a spouse, parent or child that is above the legal age.  Second, you must prove that another person acted negligently.  For example, if a medical professional failed to diagnose the deceased’s medical condition, it may be considered negligence.  Finally, you must prove that another person’s negligent actions led or contributed to the wrongful death of your loved one.  If you are able to prove all of these factors, you may be allowed to file a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for: 

• the deceased’s medical expenses
• the deceased’s burial expenses
• loss of companionship
• loss of the deceased’s income and support
