A wrongful death claim arises when a loved one is killed due to the conduct of another.  The person making the claim in this situation is not the person who was directly injured physically, but the spouse, children, or other heirs of that person.  Sometimes a claim that starts out as one for personal injuries for negligence turns into a wrongful death claim based upon the same negligence, such as when there is a delay in diagnosis of cancer that causes a person’s death.  There are other situations as well.  Call us for a free evaluation of your claim.
