How to take action after the wrongful death of a loved one

Hawkins Law Firm • Feb 12, 2016

Losing a loved one is never easy, perhaps especially when the death is sudden and unexpected. And the difficulties can carry on for years.

On top of the emotional turmoil that such a loss brings, there is often also the loss of the loved one’s income. When these losses are caused by another person’s negligence, such as in a car accident, family members of the victim may be able to recover compensation for their financial losses through a wrongful death lawsuit.

Those going through the grieving process may not initially think of taking legal action against the individual responsible for their loved one’s death. However, it is a good idea for grieving families to talk to a lawyer about their options before too much time elapses. There is a limited amount of time in which to file a wrongful death suit.
