How Wrongful Death Lawsuits Help Grieving Family Members
Regardless of the circumstances under which your loved one died, a wrongful death claim can help you in several ways, including:
- Providing funds to cover associated medical costs and funeral expenses. Bills for the care of an injury victim who passes away at the hospital and the costs of providing a dignified memorial service can run into the tens of thousands of dollars.
- Replacing income lost due to your loved one’s death. You expected to rely on their income for years to come. A settlement can keep you solvent and stable financially.
- Providing closure through insisting on accountability for negligence. Your claim can include damages for the loved one’s pre-death pain and suffering, as well as your loss of their love and companionship.
In California, relatives have up to two years after the loved one’s death to file a claim. The spouse of the deceased can file a claim, as can a representative for minor children who have lost a parent, or parents who have lost a minor child through an act of negligence.
