Q: Attorney Tully, if a person is killed due to the fault of another who brings the claim and what can be recovered from the claim?
A: The Wrongful Death Act allows the spouse, children or parents of the deceased person to sue another for a negligent act that caused the death of the loved one. The spouse, children or parents can collect money for the reasonable hospital, nursing, medical and funeral expenses of the deceased person. In addition, the family can collect the expenses caused to the family because of the decedent’s death. Lastly, the family can collect for the emotional and psychological losses they suffered by the tragedy of the decedent’s death. We handle Wrongful Death cases. Call me for a free consultation.
