Wrongful Death Resources

Losing a loved one is devastating—especially when their death was caused by someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or misconduct. While no amount of money can replace your loss, pursuing a wrongful death claim can provide justice, accountability, and financial security for your family. At HF Law Firm, we are committed to standing by grieving families, guiding them through the legal process with compassion while aggressively fighting for the compensation they deserve.

What is Wrongful Death?

‍

Wrongful death occurs when an individual’s life is taken due to another party’s negligent or intentional actions. These cases often overlap with personal injury law but are pursued on behalf of the deceased’s surviving family members or estate. 

Examples include:

• Fatal Car, Truck, or Motorcycle Accidents
• Medical Malpractice Resulting in Death
• Workplace or Construction Accidents
• Defective or Dangerous Products
• Nursing Home Negligence or Abuse
• Criminal Acts (such as assaults or drunk driving accidents)

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?

‍

Laws vary by state, but generally, the following parties may bring a wrongful death lawsuit:

• Spouse of the deceased
• Children of the deceased
• Parents (if the victim was unmarried or without children)
• Estate representatives (on behalf of surviving family members)

Damages Available in a Wrongful Death Claim:

‍

While compensation cannot ease emotional pain, it can help secure your family’s financial future.  

Possible damages include:

• Funeral and Burial Expenses
• Medical Costs Incurred Prior to Death
• Loss of Income and Financial Support
• Loss of Companionship, Guidance, and Care
• Pain and Suffering Experienced by Survivors
• Punitive Damages (in cases of gross negligence or misconduct)
