Wrongful Death Attorneys

Understanding Wrongful Death Claims

Losing a loved one is incredibly painful, and losing them as a result of someone else's careless or reckless behavior makes it even more devastating. The experienced attorneys at Gillani Law understand the psychological and financial impact that an unexpected loss can have on a family. During such a painful time, seeking financial comfort and justice by filing a wrongful death claim might be beneficial. No monetary damages can replace a human life, but fair settlements can help alleviate the hardship that remaining family members bear. Learn what one of our wrongful death attorneys can do for your family.
 

What Constitutes a Wrongful Death?

A wrongful death is when someone passes away due to the carelessness, recklessness, or deliberate wrongdoing of another person. Typical situations consist of:

Automobile Accidents

A fatality that was the result of car, commercial, truck or motorcycle accidents that were caused by another driver's careless conduct or impaired driving. This category also includes fatal boat accidents. 

Medical Malpractice

A death due to medical errors, misdiagnoses, surgical mistakes, or another negligent act caused by a medical professional. 

Workplace Accident

A fatality that occurred in an unsafe working condition, typically a construction site, manufacturing plant or some other high-risk industry. 

Defective Products

 Death due to faulty and dangerous products, including unsafe pharmaceuticals, medical devices, malfunctioning vehicles, or hazardous consumer products.

Criminal Acts

Homicides or other violent crimes that have an intentional action and result in death.  

Whether your loved one was the victim of a drunk driving accident, construction site accident, or even a bicycle accident, you and your family are most likely entitled to financial compensation.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?

The majority of jurisdictions allow the deceased's immediate relatives to bring a wrongful death lawsuit. Usually, this comprises of:

- Parents of children who are not married
- Spouses
- Children

In certain situations, those who were financially reliant on the deceased as well as relatives of the deceased's extended family, such as grandparents or siblings, may also qualify.

Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases

Damages in wrongful death lawsuits include compensation for non-economic losses. Examples of non-economic harms are:
- Medical Expenses: The amount spent on the deceased's pre-death medical treatment.

- Funeral and Burial Costs: All costs associated with memorial services and burial are included in the funeral and burial expenditures.

- Lost Income: The estimated future earnings and benefits that the deceased would have supplied for their family.

- Loss of Consortium: The survivor spouse has a loss of consortium, which is an emotional and relational loss.

- Pain and Suffering:  The psychological anguish that the deceased and their living relatives experienced before passing away.
