WRONGFUL DEATH

Wrongful death cases refer to a legal situation where the family of a deceased file for damages against another individual or company. Wrongful death cases presuppose that the party being sued is directly or indirectly responsible for the individual’s death.

Wrongful death cases are relatively new in jurisprudence. For a long time it has been assumed that all cases died with the deceased. However, this rule has been deemed unfair to the relatives of the deceased as it denied them the right to be justly compensated for losing a loved one.

Of course, wrongful death cases and the damages awarded to the complainants cannot in any way make up for the death of a loved one, nor can it lessen the pain of loss. But some compensation must be given to the relatives, if only to ease the financial burden.

THE LEGAL EXPERTS

If you plan to file a wrongful death claim, the best plan of action is to retain wrongful death lawyers who are experienced in handling such types of cases. Wrongful death lawyers can help you get the best settlement deal if you decide to enter into one with the negligent party. If the case goes to trial, then having wrongful death lawyers will make sure that you have the best representation possible, and increase your chances of winning the trial.

Wrongful death lawyers can be retained in several ways. One is to retain them and pay them on a per hour basis. This arrangement is ideal if you have the funds to pay the initial retainer fees and can afford the lawyer’s hourly rates. However, a more popular payment arrangement is the no win no fee plan. Under the no win no fee, you do not have to pay any fees and hourly rates. The lawyer handles your case and receives a portion of your monetary compensation should you win the case or the defendant settles.
