Wrongful Death
Several types of individuals may sue for wrongful death. These include the victim’s spouse, children, dependents, and heirs. When suing for wrongful death, the suing party may ask for damages in the form of the decedent’s future earnings, loss of love and companionship, financial support that the decedent would have provided during the lifetime of the suing party, funeral costs, and pain & suffering.
Sadly, most negligent defendants immediately look for ways to shelter any assets when such a loss occurs, leaving the aggrieved party not only fighting for justice, but also in search of hidden assets they would be entitled to.
