Compassionate Representation in the Event of a Wrongful Death
A wrongful death claim is a type of a personal injury claim brought by a family member or dependent of someone killed through the negligence or recklessness of another. Generally, wrongful death claims are brought by a spouse, surviving parent, or surviving children. However, depending on the facts and/or where the case is pending (Kansas or Missouri), there may be other heirs or descendants that may be eligible to bring the claim.
Kopit Law Firm understands that there is NO amount of compensation that can replace your loved one. However, a successful wrongful death claim can recover expenses like:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Funeral costs
- Loss of support, companionship, guidance, and support
In addition to the above, there may be a survival action meaning a claim to recover for the pain and losses suffered between the time of injury and the time of death of the person. A successful wrongful death claim can help provide a sense of closure and the knowledge that actions were taken to help prevent similar tragedies from affecting other families in the future.
If you have lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence or misconduct, the Kopit Law Firm is here to help. Don't fight alone -- contact the Kopit Law Firm today for a free consultation.
