Arizona wrongful death attorneys Alexis and Mark Breyer are frequently sought after to answer questions relating to wrongful and accidental deaths. Here are some of the frequently asked questions about wrongful death litigation.
What is wrongful death?
A wrongful death can be an accident or a deliberate unjust act of another person or entity that causes someone to die.
What rights do family members have when a loved one has died wrongfully?
Immediate family members have the right to claim wrongful death damages against the person who caused their loved one’s death. In Arizona, immediate family members include a spouse, parent or child. If the victim did not have a spouse, child, or surviving parents, the estate can file a wrongful death lawsuit with the proceeds combined with the victim’s assets.
Is a wrongful death settlement for funeral expenses only?
A wrongful death settlement includes damages for many other costs the family has incurred due to their loved one’s death. A wrongful death settlement includes damages for:
- Medical and out-of-pocket costs before the death occurred
- Loss of future income of the deceased
- Pain and suffering the deceased incurred
- Loss of service to the family
- Loss of love, companionship and guidance
