Wrongful DeathWhen a person’s negligent actions or reckless behavior cause the death of another person, it is considered wrongful death. Under Wisconsin law, surviving family members are entitled to file a lawsuit against the responsible party in order to be compensated for their pain, suffering, and financial and emotional losses.
At Pitman, Kyle & Sicula, we have represented many families who have lost a loved one in a wrongful death accident. We have extensive knowledge in this area of the law, and work relentlessly to make sure our clients’ rights are protected. At our law firm, we have experience helping families who have lost a loved one in the following types of accidents:
- Medical malpractice
- Automobile accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Boating accidents
- Truck accidents
- Dog/Animal attacks
- Construction accidents
- Work related accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Dangerous or defective products
- Exposure to hazardous materials or chemicals
An unexpected death can turn a family’s lifestyle upside down. All of a sudden, surviving family members are left to deal with multiple expenses and waves of emotions. If you have lost a loved one in a wrongful death accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your economic losses, such as funeral expenses, medical costs, lost potential wages, lost financial contributions, and estate planning and administrative fees. In addition, family members are also typically awarded non-economic damages for the loss of emotional support, love, guidance, comfort, supervision, care, companionship, and other household contributions.
