Wrongful death is defined as the death of a human being as the result of the negligent, reckless, or intentional act of another person, and may arise as the result of any kind of accident, including motor vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, trucking, or pedestrian accidents, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, medical malpractice, a defective product, or construction accidents.
Husbands, wives, domestic partners, children, parents, brothers, sisters, and financially dependent children (formally adopted or not) can bring wrongful death claims when negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct has caused the death of a family member.
To succeed on a wrongful death claim, the surviving family must establish four elements:
1. Death of a person
2. Caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional conduct of another
3. Surviving family members are financially suffering because of the death
4. There is a personal representative to bring the suit on behalf of the decedent’s estate
Assuming these four elements are satisfied, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic losses, including:
- Medical Expenses
- Pain and Suffering of your loved one prior to death
Loss of Financial Support to the surviving spouse or child for rent and housing, transportation costs, educational expenses, health care and other expenses a loved one would have provided, based on their expected future earnings
Loss of Services for the everyday contribution of your loved, such as for cleaning, cooking, advice, training, and other contributions they would have made to taking care of your home and family.
Loss of Society, Comfort, Care and Companionship of your loved one, including for lost affection, moral support and guidance, sexual enjoyment, and other services for a surviving spouse.
Funeral and Burial Expenses
Other compensation
Some states also allow surviving family members to be compensated for their personal grief and suffering.
