In cases of wrongful death, it is imperative that the victim’s survivors act quickly so that the evidence can be evaluated and the lawsuit can be filed prior to the end of the statue of limitations.

Wrongful death laws, which exist in all 50 states and vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, generally provide for a decedent’s beneficiaries to file a lawsuit in the event of a death that was caused by a wrongful act or negligence of another. For example, deaths caused by drunk driving, the manufacture of defective or dangerous products, the collapse of an unsound structure or building or the failure to diagnose a fatal disease may trigger wrongful death claims.

Damages Recoverable in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

The types of damages recoverable in a wrongful death lawsuit will vary depending on the jurisdiction. Below are some examples of types of damages that may be recoverable:

• Loss of anticipated future earnings the deceased would have provided.
• Lost benefits from the death, e.g. pension or retirement benefits.
• Expenses associated with the death, e.g. medical bills and funeral costs.
• Loss of inheritance from an untimely death.
• Pain, suffering, or mental anguish suffered by the survivor of the decedent.
• Loss of companionship, care, or protection.
• Punitive damages, intended to punish wrongdoers and prevent them from harming others.
