If you are seeking help for a wrongful death claim, it’s important to understand that this type of lawsuit arises when someone dies due to the negligence or intentional act of another party. To pursue a wrongful death claim, you must prove that the responsible party’s actions directly caused the death and that you, as a family member or legal representative, have suffered damages as a result.

Key steps to take include:

• Contact an attorney promptly – There are strict time limits (statutes of limitations) for filing these claims, so acting quickly is essential.

• Gather evidence – Collect any relevant medical records, police reports, eyewitness statements, and other documentation related to the death.

• Identify liable parties – This could include individuals, companies, government agencies, or other entities responsible for the wrongful death.

• Calculate damages – Damages in wrongful death cases may include medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.

• File the claim in the appropriate court – Your attorney will handle the legal process, negotiating with insurance companies or representing you in court if a settlement is not reached.
