Wrongful Death
Wrongful death cases may arise due to medical malpractice, car accident, criminal behavior, occupational hazards, or a variety of other situations. In a wrongful death case, the person is deceased, which changes how compensation can be awarded. There are some cases where a personal injury claim is made at first, and is followed by a wrongful death claim. Compensation in wrongful death cases is awarded for other reasons than personal injury.
- Lost Wages: An amount is based on future earnings.
- Medical Treatment: Costs that were accrued up until the time of death.
- Funeral Expenses: Costs of arranging a funeral
