What Is Wrongful Death?

The legal term “wrongful death” is defined as a death caused by a company’s or individual’s negligent, careless or deliberate act. Our Albany, GA premises liability lawyer often sees wrongful death cases and may consult on your case. Oftentimes, the individual who caused the accident has reached a level of care toward your loved one and is liable for the extreme injuries and death that resulted. To prove wrongful death, you must be able to prove that the individual responsible breached a level of care and, as a result, that breach of duty led to your loved one’s death.

We will help you in recreating the accident and make sure we include every detail when determining the appropriate amount of damages.

Personal Injury Claims for Wrongful Death

After a loved one passes, day-to-day activities can become burdensome. On top of that, the financial obligations when someone passes can be extensive. Filing a personal injury claim can help alleviate some or all of the costs that resulted from the accident. The victim’s spouse is the first family member eligible to bring the claim. If there is no living spouse to the victim, the victim’s children would be the next eligible to bring the claim. If the victim has no living spouse or children, the parents are then eligible to bring the claim.

A personal injury claim for a wrongful death action will often include the following:

  • Funeral expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Future earnings
  • Medical expenses (if any)
  • Mental anguish
  • Pain and suffering
  • Punitive damages

Chris Rodd and his team will be able to help you through this detailed process. We work diligently to gather all necessary evidence needed to determine how to appropriate expenses. We take into consideration the expenses that are needed now and in the future so that you never have to worry. We want you to focus on healing.
