What is a wrongful death?

Sadly, sometimes people die through the negligence of others. In the aftermath of a wrongful death, it’s crucial to consult a lawyer who can guide you in understanding potential compensation areas, from loss of earnings to mental anguish.

Aside from the emotional impact, wrongful death can have a big impact on the finances of the family left behind, especially if they relied on the deceased for financial support. This is why there are compensation laws to help recover things like lost wages, lost companionship and funeral expenses.

Wrongful death specialists at MEJ can guide you through a wrongful death claim process with sensitivity, privacy and compassion.

 

The claim process

Wrongful death claims are usually made by immediate family like a wife, husband, parent or child – but there are some situations when life partners, financial dependents and distant families can also claim. They can make a claim against anyone who caused the deceased’s death due to legal fault.

It is important to work with specialists in wrongful death claims to help simplify the process at one of the most difficult times of your life.
