Wrongful Death
Few situations in life are more trying than when a loved one passes away before their time — especially if it never should have happened but for the negligence of another person.
In the case of wrongful death, the victim is often subjected to what is referred to as “fear of impending death,” in which case additional compensation is in order.
Just because a loved one met their end as a result of someone else’s negligence and no longer has the capacity to enact retribution, does not mean the guilty party is not accountable for the pain and suffering they caused.
