THE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF EVERY WRONGFUL DEATH CASE

It’s of course very important to understand what to expect from your specific wrongful death case, because even though every wrongful death is unique there are still going to be specific elements within each and every case. Just like all other civil lawsuit proceedings, wrongful death cases must entail specific met elements in order for compensation to be justifiable.

Our wrongful death attorneys will ensure that the following elements are established within your case:

Negligence: We’ll be sure to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that the defendant(s) acted out carelessly or recklessly, and that their specific negligence was the ultimate cause of your loved one’s death.
Breach of Duty: This element entails how we’ll have to firmly establish how the defendant owed your deceased loved one “duty of care”, and that the defendant breached their own personal duty of care. A common example of this would be in slip and fall accidents, because the property owner owed the accident victim the general duty of ensuring that their floors were free of any hazards. So if the wet surface or floor hazard ends up causing an individual to pass away, then the property owner undoubtedly breached their duty of care.
Cause: This element is oriented around proving the tangible link between a defendant’s breach of duty of care and the accident victim’s death. A common example of this would be when a driver runs a red light and then impacts another vehicle causing another driver’s death. The failure to stop at the red light would be the breach of duty of care, and it’s also the causation of the death of the plaintiff’s loved one.
Damages: Every plaintiff in a wrongful death case must also be able to thoroughly prove their subsequent damages, which means they’ll have to establish tangible proof oriented around how their loved one’s death caused specific financial and non-economic hardships. There are many factors that come into play in terms of wrongful death damages, and this is mainly because there are a whole array of different damages that may apply to specific cases.

WHAT ARE COMMON DAMAGES WITHIN WRONGFUL DEATH CASES?

Many times the actual cause of death doesn’t play a factor when it comes to the types of damages that a wrongful death plaintiff will experience. Whether your loved one died from medical malpractice or a car accident, your damages are likely to be relatively the same.

Although the below damages won’t necessarily apply to each and every wrongful death case, these are some of the most common damages associated with wrongful death cases:

Medical care costs prior to the accident victim’s death
Funeral/burial costs
Pain and suffering
Loss of future household income
Loss of services that the decedent performed
Loss of inheritance
Loss of care
Grief
Loss of companionship
Punitive damages
And much more…
