Any other person who was “dependent” upon the deceased for support or services
The Wrongful Death Act permits the “personal representative” of a deceased individual to file a wrongful death claim. Should the departed have a legitimate will that identifies an executor, then this individual is officially known as the personal representative. If a deceased individual has no will or their existing document is deemed invalid, the court then appoints an administrator who is usually nominated by someone interested.
Our attorneys will help you determine if you have standing to bring a wrongful death suit and provide compassionate guidance throughout every step of your case. We understand that filing a lawsuit may be overwhelming, but we are here to help.
The nature and severity of the deceased’s injury or illness
Medical bills related to the injury or illness
Funeral expenses
Lost wages and benefits the deceased would have earned
Pain and suffering the deceased endured prior to his/her passing
