Elements of a Wrongful Death Claim

Estey & Bomberger attorneys are tireless advocates for those who have lost family members in fatal crashes, health care related accidents, work accidents and other types of accidents. We understand the elements that must be proven to pursue a wrongful death claim, and we have the resources to prove maximum liability. The following elements typically must be demonstrated in a wrongful death claim:

• The wrongful death was caused by the actions of the defendant (for example, the driver who caused an accident, the doctor who made an error or the negligent product manufacturer)
• The defendant’s actions were negligent
• There is a surviving spouse, children, siblings or parents
• Loss of support, grief, bereavement, burial/funeral expenses, and medical expenses resulting from the victim’s wrongful death.
