Common Causes of Wrongful Death Nationwide
A wrongful death happens when someone else’s actions cause the death of another person. Families of the victims have the right to file legal claims against those responsible. Wrongful death lawsuits can arise from various situations involving negligence or intentional wrongdoing, such as:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Workplace accidents
- Defective products
- Construction site accidents
- Nursing home abuse
- Slip and fall accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Motorcycle crashes
- Commercial truck collisions
- Criminal acts
Wrongful Death Laws and Requirements Across Different States
Different states have different laws regarding wrongful death: who qualifies for a claim, who may file on behalf of the deceased, and even how long you have to file before the court will dismiss the lawsuit. While the fundamental principle remains consistent—holding negligent parties accountable for causing a death—the rules can vary in important ways.
Only certain people can file a wrongful death lawsuit, such as the personal representative of the deceased’s estate or certain family members. Some states limit the compensation paid in wrongful death claims to immediate family like spouses and children, while others extend this right to more distant relatives or other financial dependents.
The statute of limitations, or the deadline for filing a wrongful death claim, is also different depending on where you live. If you miss the deadline, the court will most likely dismiss the lawsuit unless you qualify for an exception. The statute of limitations usually ranges between one to three years.
At Monge & Associates, our nationwide network of attorneys holds deep knowledge of each state’s wrongful death statutes. We can determine which laws apply to your situation, identify all eligible claimants in your family, ensure all filing deadlines are met, and maximize your recovery within the applicable legal framework.
Types of Compensation Typically Available in Wrongful Death Claims
Wrongful death lawsuits address both the financial and emotional toll of losing a loved one unexpectedly. While no amount can truly make up for your loss, these damages help provide financial stability during this difficult transition and hold negligent parties accountable for their actions.
Depending on where you live, you could recover compensation for:
- The cost of emergency services, hospitalization, surgeries, medications, and any other medical care your loved one received before passing away
- Funeral services, cremation or burial, cemetery plots, headstones, and related final arrangements
- The wages your loved one would have earned throughout their expected career had they survived
- Pension plans, retirement benefits, healthcare coverage, and other employment perks that supported your family
- The emotional pain and suffering endured by the surviving family members
- The pain and suffering your loved one experienced before their death
