One accident can change an injured person’s life forever and it can have an immediate impact on his or her family. When the accident is caused by the negligence of someone else, the injured person is usually able to obtain compensation for his or her losses and injuries. When a wrongful death occurs, the deceased person’s family can bring a claim for damages.

No lawyer can take away the pain, grief, and inconvenience caused by an accident. However, our law firm can help you pursue insurance benefits if you and your family have lived through difficulties like income loss, medical bills, or hospitalizations.

Do I have a wrongful death case?

If someone died due to the negligence of another or from an intent to harm, surviving family members can file a wrongful death suit. If you have experienced quantifiable suffering as a result of losing a loved one due to one of these circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation to make up for burial and funeral expenses as well as expected income that the deceased would have provided.

How long do I have to file a wrongful death lawsuit?

The statute of limitations, or how long you have to file, varies by state. However, in many states, a surviving family member of the deceased must file a claim within two years of the death. There are exceptions to this, but given its complexity, it’s best to speak with a personal injury attorney to determine if there could still be a case after two years.

How is a wrongful death case settlement divided?

A jury will often choose how the proceeds from a wrongful death case are distributed among family members. A settlement agreement is another option where beneficiaries can work together to determine how they would like the settlement to be split.
