How Would You Describe a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

A wrongful death lawsuit can be described as a claim that’s sought against another individual or company when that party’s negligent actions allegedly resulted in the victim’s death. These claims are established partially to make sure a family gets the financial help it needs for the loss of a family member. A comprehensive wrongful death lawsuit will usually include two forms of damages: wrongful death damages and survival damages. Wrongful death damages help the victim’s family for their own loss. These damages usually include:

• Funeral and medical costs.
• Loss of financial assistance.
• Compensation for mental/emotional pain and loss of relationship due to the victim’s passing.

Survival damages, meanwhile, give compensation for the damages that victim could have file a lawsuit for if he or she had survived the accident. These damages usually include:

• Medical costs.
• Loss of income due to hospital stay.
• Damaged property.
• Loss of earning capacity because of a long-term disability.
• Physical pain and suffering.
• Mental or emotional trauma resulting from the accident.
• Compensation for long term disfigurement or disability.

No sum of money can really assist a family for losing a loved one, but the fact is that losing a loved one creates a tremendous financial burden on a family, along with the emotional pain. Our Conroe attorneys want to make sure you get the compensation you need to handle these financial issues.

Along with giving the family compensation, wrongful death lawsuits are intended to punish the negligent parties that cause someone else’s death. A comprehensive wrongful death claim will also include punitive damages against the defendant and will try to get the defendant to change their behavior. Our legal professionals want to make sure those liable for your loved one’s death face justice so others don’t have to experience the same tragedy as your family member.

How do I know if I have a Legit Wrongful Death Claim?

Lots of families are unsure if they have the ability to sue for wrongful death or not. Wrongful death claims can be filed against a negligent party even when there are no criminal charges being pursued. The defendant’s motives usually determine whether or not criminal charges are factored in. For instance, if a driver speeds through a red light, then hits and kills an innocent bystander, a driver would be ruled negligent and that victim’s family could sue for wrongful death. However, most juries wouldn’t find the driver guilty of murder since it’s probably not the reason the victim died was due to a willful act on the behalf of the driver.

You need to know though that even if criminal charges are filed due to a person being intentionally killed, family members are still able to seek a wrongful death claim. The Texas wrongful death law states that four things must be met in a wrongful death lawsuit:

• An individual is killed, either partially or entirely, by the actions or inaction of another individual or entity.
• The individual or entity who caused the victim’s death was behaving in a negligent manner.
• Family members or other beneficiaries are alive to seek a wrongful death claim.
• The victim’s death resulted in some kind of economic damage for the plaintiff.
