Almost 225,000 people die due to unintentional injuries each year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Sadly, many of these deaths are preventable, as they happen because of the negligence or intentional wrongdoing of other people or parties.
If your family suffered an unimaginable loss, you likely face significant emotional and financial repercussions. Learn how a legal claim might help your family by consulting with a compassionate Montgomery wrongful death attorney today.
In Alabama, a wrongful death claim is a legal action brought by close surviving family members or other beneficiaries of a person who has died due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongdoing of another party. It allows the family to seek compensation for the losses they have suffered as a result of their loved one's untimely death.
Some causes of wrongful death claims include:
Only specific family members or the personal representative of the deceased person's estate can file a wrongful death claim in Alabama. This typically includes spouses, children, parents, or the personal representative of the deceased person's estate. For a successful claim, family members must prove another party’s liability for the death.
While no amount of money will ever replace your loved one’s life, a wrongful death settlement or judgment can provide financial support and a greater sense of justice for what happened.
One of the primary purposes of a wrongful death claim is to provide financial compensation to the surviving family members. Unlike other states, Alabama has unique laws regarding compensation for families. Instead of seeking compensation for your specific losses, you must seek punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer. Our attorney can review your situation and advise what you are entitled to financially.
