Have you lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence? There can be nothing worse than the sudden death of a loved one. But this loss can be even more painful if your loved one has passed away because of the actions of another person, whether unintentional or intentional. When reckless or negligent behaviour of another person or entity causes the death of a person, the close family members of the deceased have the right to file a lawsuit to get economic compensation to ensure that they are financially secure. The wrongful death claims are filed by family members to get financial aid for the unexpected costs that arise from the death of their earning family member. The surviving spouse, children, or parents of a deceased person may file a wrongful death claim. The family of the deceased can seek the assistance of a qualified wrongful death lawyer to file a wrongful death lawsuit in the court to get fair compensation.
Over the years, P&M Personal Injury Law has represented several wrongful death cases and has successfully received compensation for families to bear the financial burden incurred by the loss of their loved one. We understand that money certainly will not help to ease the pain of losing a loved one. But if a person dies due to a wrongful act, negligence, or breach of contract, the close family members of the deceased person should file a civil lawsuit. The heirs of the deceased have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit when the death of their loved one is caused due to the wrongful actions or inaction of another party. A wrongful death claim can be filed if a person dies as a result of negligence or through malicious intent. However, it’s important to hire an experienced wrongful death attorney to maximize your chances of ensuring the best settlement.
