Wrongful Death Lawsuit

A wrongful death settlement is the monetary compensation offered after a wrongful death claim or a wrongful death lawsuit.

A wrongful death lawsuit claims that the victim was killed as a result of carelessness on the part of the person or company being sued, and that the victim’s survivors are thus entitled to money as a result of the negligence.

How Much Money Can I Receive in a Wrongful Death Settlement?

The types of monetary settlements that may be available to you in a wrongful death lawsuit include the following:

  • Medical bills and funeral expenses connected to the death
  • Loss of earnings between the time of the death and the expected retirement
  • Other damages such as loss of benefits like pension plans, medical coverage, and so on
  • Damages for emotional trauma or pain and suffering of the survivors
  • Loss of care, protection, nurturing, and companionship of the survivors

If your loved one was killed in a fatal car accident that they didn’t cause, you might be eligible to fight for a wrongful death settlement.  In order to get there you might want to hire a wrongful death lawyer to argue your case.
