APARTMENT SHOOTINGS AND OTHER WRONGFUL DEATH INCIDENTS ARE LESS INNOCENT

Some deaths are pure accidents, with no one to blame. However, other deaths are less innocent. They can be a result of negligent, reckless, or intentional actions. When this type of death occurs, the victim deserves justice. Their family can file a wrongful death claim against the individual or business that is responsible for the death.

COMPENSATION FOR AN APARTMENT SHOOTING OR OTHER WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The surviving family members of a victim of wrongful death are typically the only ones who can file a claim. In their wrongful death claim, they can seek damages. For instance, they can seek damages for the life of their loves one.

This includes the value of their life in terms of companionship and family. Although it can be difficult to assign a value to this, the court does just that. They consider the impact the deceased had on your life, then they come up with a financial value of that impact.

There’s also the issue of economic value. If the victim contributed to the household in any way, you could receive compensation for the loss of their contributions. In addition to receiving money for their lost income, you could also receive money for the loss of other services, like childcare or home maintenance.

Another way to seek compensation is through an estate claim. With this type of claim, you could receive damages for funeral expenses, medical bills, and pain and suffering of your loved one. The estate claim is slightly different than the wrongful death claim in that the administrator of the will is the only one who can file the claim. If there is no will, there are laws in place to determine who can file on their behalf.
