Wrongful Death Information
A wrongful death is a death that is caused by the negligence or misconduct of an individual or company.
The definition of a survivor of a wrongful death victim may vary from state to state, but in general, this usually includes the spouse and minor children. Compensation may vary by state or jurisdiction but in general the law provides for the following:
- Expenses incurred by the death of the victim (funeral, medical, etc.)
- Loss of future earnings anticipated over the lifetime of the victim.
- Benefits lost due to the victim’s death (medical insurance, pension, 401K, etc.)
- Survivors pain, suffering and mental anguish caused by the victims death.
- Companionship, care or protection lost to the survivors as a result of the death.
- General and punitive damages.
In order to file a wrongful death claim, you must be able to prove that you will experience severe future emotional and financial hardship because of the loss of the negligent death. The required elements for a successful case for wrongful death include:
- That the death of the person was caused by the negligence of another
- That there are surviving family members who are monetarily suffering due to that death
In most states, a family member cannot sue other family members for a wrongful death, but some states do allow it. This depends on individual state law, but in general the immediate family members (spouses, children and parents) can file a wrongful death claim. Some states allow grandparents, legal dependants and extended family members to file.
Wrongful death cases are usually complicated and involve many other legal subjects. While a good California wrongful death attorney can cut through the legal jargon for you, it might be a good idea to read up on the following wrongful death-related issues.
Wrongful death cases can usually be the result of:
- Personal Injury
- Medical Malpractice
- Defective Products
- Car Accident
- Slip and Fall Injury
- Workplace
- Catastrophic Injury
- Aviation Accident
- Nursing Home Abuse
- Brain Injury
