Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim?

Not just anyone can file a wrongful death claim. Most often, wrongful death compensation can be awarded to the following:

Spouses

Death not only results in loss of companionship for the surviving spouse, but can also cause long-lasting emotional trauma. Surviving spouses usually have a claim bases on these factors.

Children

This usually applies to children who are minors and depended on their parents income and benefits as well as comfort and support for survival. Minor children can file a claim to be awarded damages.

Parents

Parents who lost their minor child can also recover damages for the emotional trauma that followed after the death of their child as well as the lost relationship with the child.
