Filing A Wrongful Death Claim
If the negligent, reckless, or malicious actions of another person caused your loved one to lose their life, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim. The personal representative of the state as outlined in the will can file a claim. Our North Carolina wrongful death lawyer will help you determine who is eligible to file and guide you through the claims process. If compensation is awarded, it is paid to the estate of the deceased to be distributed to surviving benefactors of the estate.
In a wrongful death case, there are certain elements that must be proven in order to receive compensation. Our team will investigate your case and gather evidence in order to construct a case that proves that the at-fault party is liable for the death. We will prove that the defendant caused the death of your loved one through negligent or reckless action by establishing the events that transpired, who is responsible for the death, and the losses that you and your loved ones have suffered as a result.
Compensation in wrongful death cases is designed to help offset the losses that you and your family have suffered as a result of the death, allowing you to recover and mourn the loss of your loved one. This compensation may include payment for medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, loss of future income, loss of future inheritance, pain and suffering, emotional anguish, loss of consortium, and potential punitive cases in instances of extreme negligent or malicious actions. Our North Carolina wrongful death lawyer will work with you to determine the full extent of compensation which you may be able to recover in your case.
