WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIMS TAKE A TOLL

When a person is killed through recklessness, negligence, or intentional acts at the hands of another, it is considered wrongful death. A beneficiary or dependent of the deceased may open a wrongful death claim within a certain amount of time after the death.
Wrongful death claims seek a reward of compensation that will help to ease the financial and mental burden placed upon the survivors of the deceased. Money cannot replace the loss of your loved one, however it can help with your physical needs as you navigate through your grief.
