The damages in a wrongful death claim or lawsuit are meant to compensate the decedent’s surviving family members for the actual loss and suffering caused by the untimely death of their loved one.
Damages can include:
Common causes of wrongful death include:
Family members will have two years from the date of death to file a lawsuit against the negligent party. The failure to file within this time frame can result in the case being dismissed, barring the family members from recovering the compensation they’re owed. When you hire a wrongful death lawyer at Loncar Lyon Jenkins, they will handle every aspect of your case, including ensuring that all paperwork is filed correctly and within the statute of limitations.
A wrongful death lawsuit is filed on behalf of the deceased person’s estate to compensate surviving family members. A wrongful death claim or lawsuit is filed immediately following a death that was caused by the negligence of another. The compensation in a wrongful death lawsuit pays the deceased party’s family members, such as their spouse or child. The damages can include compensation for funeral and burial costs, future lost wages, and loss of love and guidance.
A survival action is a type of lawsuit that’s filed on behalf of the victim and involves the damages the deceased person would have been entitled to had they survived the accident. A survival action is filed in situations where the accident victim sustained injuries caused by a negligent party, but survives the initial event and later succumbs to their injuries. It’s often used in medical malpractice cases that involve a misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, or gross medical oversight that later results in the patient’s death.
A wrongful death lawsuit is focused on what the surviving family members have lost as the result of the untimely death of a loved one, while a survivor action focuses on the damages suffered by the accident victim between the time of the accident that resulted in their injuries to the time of their death. The victim may survive for several months following an accident, during which time they may endure emotional anguish and pain and suffering. A survival action will cover the victim’s damages including medical bills and pain and suffering the accident victim experienced before death. Survival action damages are paid directly to the deceased person’s estate, which is then paid to their beneficiaries.
