If your loved one passed away in an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you might pursue a wrongful death claim against the at-fault party. The elements of proof in a wrongful death claim are very similar to those in a personal injury claim.
In terms of compensation, the claimant, who may be the personal representative of the loved one’s estate, may pursue monetary compensation for your loved one’s future lost earnings, pain and suffering up until the time of their death, and loss of the loved one’s companionship and support.
