What is Wrongful Death?

When you lose a loved one due to another person’s negligence, you have a right to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Wrongful death applies to any fatal accident that was caused by the negligence or recklessness of a third party. The spouse, children, and other immediately family members of the deceased may be entitled to monetary compensation for both their financial and personal losses.

Damages in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

In the state of Wisconsin, surviving family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit to receive compensation for several types of damages, including:

  • Medical expenses prior to death
  • Funeral expenses
  • Projected future income
  • Projected future financial contributions, including tuition and mortgages
  • Financial support for dependent children
  • Loss of companionship

When you lose a loved one in an accident, the accompanying emotional turmoil can be overwhelming. The attorneys at the Cochran Firm Wisconsin have years of experience helping families who have lost a loved one receive the full compensation they are due. Nothing can bring your loved one back, but the attorneys at the Cochran Firm can help ensure that practical considerations and emotional suffering are properly addressed.
