Common questions
Who can file a wrongful death claim?
Usually the spouse, children, or parents of the person who died; some states allow the estate's representative. An attorney can confirm who qualifies in your state.
What compensation is available?
Typically funeral and medical expenses, lost income and support, and damages for the family's loss. What is recoverable varies by state.
How long do we have to file?
Deadlines are strict — often one to three years. Families should get advice early even while grieving, so rights are preserved.
How do attorneys charge in these cases?
Usually on contingency, so the family pays nothing upfront. Ask for the fee terms in writing and take the time you need before deciding.
