Wrongful death actions typically involve deaths that are caused by automobile accidents, drunk driving accidents, boating accidents, drowning and medical malpractice. However, they can also include accidents in the workplace, nursing home abuse, construction site accidents, violent acts and many more. If the death was caused by accident, or if it should or could have been prevented, it can usually be considered a wrongful death.
When innocent people are killed because of the negligent or careless actions of one or more people – their dependents may have legal cause to sue in a wrongful death action.
Lawmakers have realized the victim is not the only person who suffers from a wrongful death. When that victim is a mother or father or someone whose family members rely on for support – it is the dependents who suffer as well.
Plainly, a wrongful death action allows the decedent’s surviving family members to sue the person or entity who is responsible for the wrongful death and all the damages that follow (the cost of the funeral, medical expenses, pain and suffering experienced by the deceased prior to de
ath, lost income and loss of future income). A wrongful death is one that is caused due to the careless or reckless actions of another person or entity. These can include any type of accident or intentional violent act.
The first tip for negotiating your claim is assembling all documentation that potentially could be used as evidence in your case. Any document that is in any way related to your car accident or your injuries should be retained. Important documentation for negotiating your car accident claim may include:
• Police/accident reports;
• Statements from witnesses;
• Photographs of the accident scene and/or your injuries;
• Medical records and bills;
• Insurance policies; and
• Records of your lost wages.
