The Law Offices of Kirk Bernard,

of negligence for years. Our team of dedicated lawyers represents

serious automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, nursing home
abuse, defective equipment accidents, construction accidents, slip
and fall accidents and medical negligence, including harmful drugs.
Wrongful death is considered
to be a death that has occurred through the wrongful act or negligence
of another. A wrongful death may arise from accidents, malpractice
and or as the result of an intentional act.
A wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent party is generally
initiated by or on behalf of the spouse, children or family of the
decedent, through their lawyer. In some unique situations, someone
other than the deceased's immediate family are able to recover damages
if they relied upon the deceased for support.
Recoverable damages in a Washington
wrongful death case may include:
- Hospital and medical care
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Compensation for the financial aid the deceased
would have provided in the future
- Compensation for the loss of companionship,
affection, love and moral support the deceased would have provided
In addition to the Wrongful Death
claim, the decedent's estate may, in certain cases, have a claim
for medical expenses, loss of income, and pain and suffering preceding
death.
The law in this area is very
complex and can involve many areas of the law. It is sometimes difficult
to assess the damages due to their intangible nature. If you feel
that someone close to you has suffered a wrongful death due to the
negligence of another, seek the advice of a California wrongful
death attorney.
