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).
