What sort of damages can be recovered in a wrongful death case?

Depending on the circumstances of the case, damages could be recovered for funeral expenses, lost wages, future income potential, pain and suffering on behalf of the decedent and the decedent's loved ones, medical bills, and other causes.

For help calculating and predicting expenses and damages in a wrongful death case, it is important to consult with an attorney who has experience in these types of cases and can help you to determine and recover those damages from the responsible party or parties.

What if the person at fault doesn't have insurance or other resources to pay the damages?

In many cases, there may be other avenues to pursue to receive compensation. These could include the person's employer, your own insurance company, or some other party. In cases such as this, it is essential that you retain an experienced personal injury attorney who knows where to look to find the resources you need to help your family get back on their feet.

Who can file a wrongful death claim?

In general, the decedent's spouse, children, and / or parents can claim damages under a wrongful death claim. The guidelines can be confusing, however, so it is best to consult with an attorney to determine just who has a legal right to damages in your case.
