A wrongful death claim states someone has died as a result of the negligence or actions of someone else, and that the victim's survivors are entitled to monetary compensation for that death.

If the person responsible for your support has died due to the negligence or actions of someone else you are entitled to be compensated for the loss of support, inheritance and other losses.

A wrongful death can be the result of, but not limited to, an automobile accident, an airplane crash, a drunk driving accident, a criminal assault, medical malpractice, the use of a defective product, a slip and fall resulting in death, or a work-related injury.

An experienced wrongful death attorney can obtain the information necessary to help your case progress such as medical evidence, expert testimony and police reports. There are time limits for filing a wrongful death claim that can vary from one to three years.
