How Is Wrongful Death Defined And Determined?

Wrongful death occurs when a person is killed because of another party who was either negligent or acted with misconduct. For the person who has died, his or her dependents and/or beneficiaries may be entitled to financial compensation from the party who is at fault.

Typically, there are two primary circumstances when wrongful death may occur, including:

• Malpractice when a patient is under the supervision of a licensed doctor. This can occur during surgery, or through misdiagnosing a health condition. In addition, anesthesiologists may be held responsible if they have administered a fatal amount of anesthesia.
• Fatal accidents that happen due to defective products in a vehicle. In addition, trucking companies may be held responsible if their employee ignores trucking regulations that are set in place to protect other drivers.

If either of these has happened to your loved one, it’s important that you get the legal representation that will fight for you. Jenkins Law Firm will do everything we can to make sure that you are compensated for the emotional and financial damages that have occurred to you.

How Much Am I Entitled To After A Wrongful Death?

The amount of money that you may be granted after a wrongful death will depend on a variety of conditions. Some of the factors that will go into the amount that you are entitled to include:

• Whether or not you were financially dependent on the deceased and how much money he or she earned.
• Savings that have been accrued by the person who has been killed.
• Financial expenses that have occurred due to funeral or medical costs.
• Emotional distress due to the death of the person who was killed.
