Who May File the Claim?

Who May File the Claim in a Wrongful Death Case?

The court has established guidelines for determining who has the right to file a wrongful death claim, and in what circumstances. Of course, every case — including yours — will have its own unique details. Some general outlines of the review process are listed below. For more information, contact Metzger Wickersham today for a free and confidential consultation.

Monetary damages

• The family can show that the death had a direct financial affect on them
• The accident would have made the victim due for monetary damages, had he or she survived

Negligence or intent

• The death was the direct result of another's negligence
• The death was the direct result of a wrongful act with the intent to cause harm

Whether your loved one's death was due to an auto accident, a truck accident or an on-the-job injury, to name a few possible causes, you may be entitled to compensation.
