What is a wrongful death claim?
A wrongful death claim is often filed by the parents, children, a spouse, or partner of someone who lost his or her life as a result of another’s wrongdoing, misconduct, or negligence. This claim is often linked to a personal injury from a car accident, workplace injury, medical malpractice, and so forth.
A settlement negotiated by a wrongful death attorney may cover financial losses that are associated with the death. These could include but are not limited to:
- Medical bills that occurred from the accident and before the death
- Funeral and burial costs
- Emotional and mental anguish
- Loss of earning capacity and future earnings
- Loss of services, companionship, and personal care
- Loss of inheritance
- Loss of medical benefits…
Depending on the state you are in, punitive damages may or may not legally be available to pursue. When punitive damages are allowable, a wrongful death lawyer must be able to prove the defendant’s actions were malicious or intentional at the time of death.
Filing Your Claim in Time
Although this might be a very emotional time for you and the surviving family members, there is a statute of limitations for discovery and negligence- two (2) years from the date of death. It is prudent that you file a claim as quickly as possible. The statutory time period expires quickly. With a few exceptions, if the time limit has passed, a claim will become forever barred. A wrongful death attorney can clarify how the statutes will apply to your situation. Locals turn to Leslie Duberstein Glenn P.A for advice and representation in wrongful death cases.
