What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit filed when a person dies due to the negligence, misconduct, or carelessness of another individual or organization. Unlike criminal cases, which seek punishment, wrongful death lawsuits seek financial compensation for the surviving family members.

Common causes of wrongful death include:

• Fatal auto accidents
• Drunk driving accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Workplace accidents
• Defective products
• Nursing home neglect or abuse
• Slip and fall incidents
• Violent crimes due to negligent security

Each state has its own laws regarding who can file a wrongful death claim, what compensation may be available, and how long you have to act. Each case also has a variety of different facts that influence potential compensation or a claim’s validity.

Based on the details of your unique case, our law firm can assess your ability to pursue a legal claim seeking wrongful death damages from the party responsible for the unexpected death of your loved one. We begin with a free consultation to review the facts of your case and the losses you have suffered in order to outline your legal strategy and guide your next steps.

Depending upon the wrongful death statute of the state where you plan to pursue compensation through a wrongful death suit, your options and the legal process can vary significantly. At Flynn Greathouse, we handle these complex state-specific legal issues so you can focus on healing.

2. Pursue the Maximum Financial Recovery Under The Law

We seek monetary compensation for the full scope of harms, losses, and expenses for which you may be eligible, including:

• Medical expenses incurred before death
• Funeral expenses and burial costs
• Loss of financial support and future earnings
• Loss of companionship or parental guidance
• Pain and suffering endured by the deceased prior to passing (Options to pursue compensation for the decedent’s suffering through a survival action vary by state.)
• Emotional distress suffered by surviving family members

3. Holding the Right Parties Accountable

Our firm investigates each possible source of liability. Whether a distracted driver, a negligent doctor, a careless property owner, or a large corporation caused the fatal injury, we identify each negligent party and take action.

How Wrongful Death Claims Work

When you work with Flynn Greathouse, you can expect us to guide you and handle the legal responsibilities throughout the process from your free case evaluation through the resolution of your case:

Step 1: Free Consultation

During a free case evaluation, we listen to your story, review available facts, and help you understand your rights and options in a no-obligation setting.

Step 2: Investigation

Our legal team conducts a thorough investigation into:

• The cause of the the deceased person’s death
• Relevant evidence (accident reports, witness statements, medical records)
• Insurance policies and coverage
• Potential defendants (individuals, businesses, government entities)

Step 3: Legal Filing

We file a formal wrongful death claim in the appropriate jurisdiction, notifying them of our intent to seek compensation on behalf of the eligible family members of your loved one who died. Our team complies with the applicable deadlines and procedural rules.

Step 4: Valuation of Damages

We work with economic and medical experts to accurately assess the value of your claim’s damages, which are the specific losses family members have suffered and may continue to suffer due to the decedent’s death. This includes calculating both concrete, financial, economic damages and emotional, more subjective non-economic damages.

Step 5: Negotiation or Litigation

We attempt to resolve the matter through negotiation with the responsible party or their insurer. If a fair settlement is not reached through this process, our wrongful death accident lawyer team at Flynn Greathouse is prepared to represent your interests at trial.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?

While each state has its own rules regarding the family members eligible, the following parties usually may file a wrongful death claim:

• The surviving spouse or domestic partner
• Children of the deceased
• Parents (in the case of a deceased minor)
• In some states, extended family members or legal dependents

Consider the example of a family in Phoenix that lost their son in a fatal auto accident caused by a delivery truck running a red light. Our legal team would seek compensation from both the driver and the employer’s insurance company, which could provide significant financial security for the parents and cover the final expenses such as funeral and burial.
