 Wrongful
Death
Mr.
Schneikart’s clients have included the families and
estates of persons who have died as a result of the
wrongful act of another.� Wrongful deaths can involve
car accidents, medical malpractice or numerous
other situations.
There
is a complex framework of special laws that apply to
and must be analyzed in each wrongful death case.� The
purpose of these laws is to allow compensation for the
survivors and estate of a victim of wrongful death.��
“Survivors” may include immediate family members of
the victim.� Compensation allowed may include:
- Medical
and funeral expenses.
- Loss of
the victim’s anticipated lifetime net accumulations.
- The survivors’
emotional pain and suffering, and
- The survivors’
loss of companionship and services.
Mr. Schneikart
suggests that despite the emotional upset from losing
a loved one, prompt, competent legal advice is critical
if you even suspect that there might be a wrongful death
claim.� Not only should an attorney inform you of the
merits of the claim but you should also be informed
about numerous time-sensitive decisions that must be
made.� A legal consultation is often helpful even if
there does not prove to be an actionable wrongful death
case.� Closure of the issue is often preferable to years
of wondering.
