Wrongful
Death Claims
The death of a family member from
the wrongful acts or omissions of another
give rise to a wrongful death claim.
These claims arise out of injuries
caused from another type of case, such
as a motor vehicle collision (automobile,
truck, motorboat, motorcycle), dangerous
property or premises liability, or
medical or nursing home negligence,
but the injuries result in death.
 Typical
damages can include the reasonable
value of:
- Conscious Pain and Suffering
- Medical
Bills
- Funeral Bills
- Loss of Wages, Earnings,
or other Economic Loss; known as
pecuniary losses
- Loss of Companionship, Consortium,
Services, Comfort, Instruction, Guidance,
Counsel, Training, and Support
- Aggravating
Circumstances; punitive damages
Wrongful Death Plantiffs
The
plaintiffs in a case for wrongful death
usually include the surviving parents,
spouse, and children. If no one exists
in this class of plaintiffs then other
family members may be permitted to
bring the claim.
