When a loved one dies due to the fault, gross negligence, or even felonious acts of another, it becomes a tragedy for the surviving family members. A person who loses their life due to the fault of another is the innocent victim of a cause of action known as wrongful death. If you have lost a family member because of a wrongful death, you and other family members may be eligible for damages for medical and funeral expenses, lost wages, loss of companionship, and emotional suffering. Because of the litigious nature of defendants to deny their responsibility, it is important to commence a prompt investigation of the circumstances the death and secure the preservation of evidence.
