Wrongful Death Lawsuit FAQs
The legal world is abuzz about the cases relating to wrongful death lawsuit. Lawyers look at
such cases as very challenging and hard to crack. Have you too heard this legal jargon and
wondered what it meant? Here is a list of some FAQs and answers about wrongful death
lawsuits.
1. What is a wrongful death lawsuit?
When a person dies due to misconduct or negligence, then it is called as wrongful
death. If the death occurs due to malfunction of a product or accident due to
manufacturing defect, then it is also called wrongful death.
2. Who will be sued for the wrongful death?
This law states that the person legally responsible for the cause of death can be
sued. If a car accident occurs due to driver fault, then the driver is claimed to be
responsible for the death. Similarly, if a person dies because of drunken driving, then
the bartender could be in fault.
3. Who can sue for wrongful death?
According to the law, the deceased’s spouse can file the claim. A person executing
the deceased’s estate can also consult the wrongful death lawsuit advocate to
file the claim. The other people eligible to file the suit are the deceased’s parents,
grandparents, children, creditors or any other person approved by the law.
4. What are the proofs for wrongful death?
First, proof that the person is dead should be given. Second, there should be reliable
proof to show that the death occurred due to misconduct or negligence. The wrongful
death lawsuit advocate should produce the people who will be suffering monetary
loss due to the wrongful death.
5. Is the wrongful death lawsuit same across the country?
Though the basic law is same across the country, the bylaws and the interpretations
differ from state to state. So, before you file the case, you should talk to your
wrongful death lawsuit lawyer to get a clear picture of the law in your state.
6. What are the points to consider while hiring a wrongful death lawsuit
advocate?
You should research about the lawyer before you hire him or her. The lawyer should
have ample experience and expertise in this area of the law. Moreover, you should
check out their track record. In many lawsuits, the lawyers prefer to settle trails out
of the court as it can save a lot of money, time and effort. Check if the lawyer can
negotiate such a deal and get the best claim for you and your loved ones.
