Frequently Asked Questions About Wrongful Death
What is a wrongful death claim?
A wrongful death claim is a legal action pursued when a person's death is caused by the negligence, misconduct, or wrongful act of another individual, company, or entity.
Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit?
Typically, immediate family members such as spouses, children, or parents of the deceased can file a wrongful death lawsuit. In some cases, other dependents or representatives of the estate may be eligible to file as well.
What damages can be sought in a wrongful death case?
Damages that can be sought in a wrongful death case may include medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, loss of future income, loss of companionship, and emotional pain and suffering.
What is the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit?
The statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit varies by jurisdiction. It's essential to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure compliance with the applicable deadlines.
How can a wrongful death attorney help me?
A wrongful death attorney can provide guidance, investigate the circumstances of the death, gather evidence, establish liability, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent your interests in court if necessary.
What is the burden of proof in a wrongful death case?
The burden of proof in a wrongful death case typically requires demonstrating that the defendant's negligence or intentional misconduct directly caused the death, and that the death has resulted in damages.
Can criminal charges be pursued alongside a wrongful death claim?
Yes, in some cases, if the actions leading to the death involve criminal behavior, such as homicide or manslaughter, criminal charges may be pursued separately from a wrongful death claim.
How long does a wrongful death lawsuit take to resolve?
The timeline for resolving a wrongful death lawsuit can vary widely depending on various factors, including the complexity of the case, negotiation efforts, and court availability. It may take months to several years to reach a resolution.
What is the difference between a wrongful death claim and a survival action?
While a wrongful death claim seeks damages on behalf of the surviving family members for their losses, a survival action is brought on behalf of the deceased person's estate to recover damages that the deceased would have been entitled to if they had survived, such as medical expenses or pain and suffering.
