What Is A Wrongful Death?
A wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to the legal fault of another entity or person. Claims for wrongful death can arise from various situations, such as:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Premises liability incidents
- Work-related accidents
- Criminal acts
These cases aim to hold the responsible party accountable for their actions and compensate the family for their financial and personal losses. After an intentional action or a fatal accident, a lawyer from Suddarth & Koor, LLC is standing by to help.
What Compensation Is Available After A Wrongful Death?
Dealing with the loss of a loved one is hard enough without financial burdens. Compensation in wrongful death cases may include:
- Lost expected wages: Covering potential earnings the deceased would have provided
- Medical benefits: Compensation for any medical costs incurred before death
- Loss of consortium: Addressing the emotional impact on the spouse and family
- Emotional pain and suffering: Recognizing the psychological impact on survivors
Contacting us can help clarify what specific compensation you may be entitled to.
How Long Do You Have To File A Wrongful Death Claim In Missouri?
In Missouri, most wrongful death claims must generally be filed within three years from the date of death. However, taking action as soon as possible can be important:
- Preserve evidence: The sooner you act, the easier it is for us to gather and preserve essential evidence.
- Witness recollection: Over time, witnesses’ memories fade, which can complicate your case.
- Legal proceedings: Early action helps ensure that legal processes are started while details are fresh.
Delay can jeopardize your ability to file a claim, so we urge you to contact a wrongful death attorney as soon as possible.
