Frequently Asked Question (FAQs)
A survival claim seeks damages the deceased could have claimed if they had lived, such as pain and suffering before death, and is pursued by their estate. A wrongful death claim, on the other hand, is filed by family members for their losses, like loss of income and companionship.
Yes, punitive damages can be awarded in a wrongful death lawsuit if the defendant’s actions are seen to be reckless or hurtful. These damages are intended to punish the wrongdoer and prevent similar behavior in the future.
A wrongful death lawsuit can take several months to years to resolve, depending on various factors, including the case’s complexity, the amount of evidence, and the willingness of the parties to settle.
In a wrongful death lawsuit, the standard of proof required is the “preponderance of the evidence.” This means the plaintiff must demonstrate that it is more probable that the defendant’s actions led to the death.
Yes, a wrongful death lawsuit can be filed against a government entity, but there are specific procedures and limitations. These include notice requirements and sovereign immunity exceptions that should be followed.Â
Â
If multiple plaintiffs are involved in a wrongful death case, it is best if they work together to present a unified claim. The court then decides how the damages must be divided among the plaintiffs, depending on their relationship with the deceased and the extent of their losses.
