Wrongful death is a death that has been caused by the fault of another. For example, deaths caused by drunk driving or the manufacture of a defective product may be considered wrongful deaths under the law.

Losing a loved one can be the hardest thing anyone has to endure. When that death was caused by someone else’s wrongful or negligent action, it can be particularly devastating and difficult for grieving survivors to move on with their lives.

Wrongful death claims are typically filed by family members or beneficiaries of the decedent. In many instances, these claims are filed in order to obtain monetary damages to cover the earnings the deceased person would have provided. Other damages that may be recovered include:

• Medical Expenses
• Funeral Expenses
• Loss of Earnings
• Loss of Benefits
• Loss of Inheritance
• Pain and Suffering
• Mental Anguish
• Loss of Companionship
• Punitive damages
