Wrongful Death

A wrongful death is when someone is killed by a negligent or reckless act by another. The family of someone tragically killed in a accident may be able to pursue financial compensation for their loss. Pursing compensation for the loss of a loved one can be a complicated process and it often requires the knowledge and skill of an experienced Franklin County accident lawyer.

Who May File a Wrongful Death Claim in Franklin County

A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit that may be filed by a victim’s family to hold an at-fault party liable for a fatal accident. People who may file a claim include:

• The victim’s spouse
• The victim’s child
• The victim’s parent – if the victim was a child or the parent was financially dependant on the victim.
• Other minors – if they lived with the victim and were provided financial support by the victim.

Damages That May Be Covered by a Wrongful Death Claim

A wrongful death claim may result in payment for medical expenses, funeral costs, lost future income, and lost benefits like health insurance. Some cases may result in financial compensation for non-financial losses like physical pain and mental anguish.
