St. Louis Personal Injury Attorney for Wrongful Death Claims

A loss of life is the most serious consequence of careless or negligent actions.

When a wrongful death occurs, the spouse and/or individual family members have a legal claim against the person or company responsible for the death of their loved one. Under the law, this is called a Wrongful Death Claim.

The surviving loved ones generally have a claim for the following type of damages:

ECONOMIC DAMAGES include the value of the financial contributions the victim would have made to the survivors if he or she were still contributing to the family and may include:

• Loss of the victim’s employment or expected earnings; and
• Loss of benefits, such as pension plans or medical coverage;

NON-ECONOMIC DAMAGES account for the irreplaceable loss of the physical relationship of a loved one, and may include:

• Loss of care and protection
• Loss of love, affection and companionship
• Loss of guidance and support
• Mental anguish and suffering
