Victims Family Gets $2.25M for Murder by Parolee - (PDF)
A "wrongful death" claim may be brought any time a person's death was due to another party's negligence. A claim for wrongful death can be filed against another individual, any government agency, school district, group or company. Wrongful death claims are complicated; however, when a loved one's death is caused due to another's negligence, the family has the right to be compensated for their loss.
A claim for wrongful death may include compensation for the following:
Any and all medical expenses incurred;
Compensation for the loss of support and future income;
Reimbursement for any future services normally provided to you by the person who has died;
Reimbursement for loss of consortium, meaning a spouse or child's right to the companionship, help and affection from the deceased; or
Punitive damages (if the negligence was found to be intentional or criminal).
"I hired a different attorney at first, but after two years nothing was done on the case. I then hired Thad to take over the case and he immediately jumped on the case and began aggressively representing me. Thad kept me informed on the status of my case and we were able to prove our case. The case settled just before trial, which will definitely help secure my kids' college education."
