Wrongful death occurs when someone dies as a result of the negligent act, trauma, omission, breach of contract, or warranty of another. Losing a loved one is devastating. In the event that you were also financially dependent on that loved one, the emotional burden develops into a financial burden as well.
Family members of the deceased victim are entitled to certain benefits and damages that carry specific timelines. It is crucial to comply with these limitation periods to ensure that you are obtaining everything for which you are entitled.
Trying to navigate through this time-consuming and paper-intensive process alone is daunting at best. It is so important to seek the assistance of an experienced lawyer in wrongful death cases to help you through this difficult time. At Paciocco& Mellow, we would be happy to help you fill out the required forms to obtain the benefits that are applicable and to forward your claim for appropriate damages.
