Who Can Bring A Wrongful Death Lawsuit And What Damages Can Be Recovered?

In most instances, a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed by a family member — a parent, child, sibling or other next of kin. The damages that can be recovered are different for each of the three different categories. In general, damages that can be recovered include:

  • Medical and hospital bills
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Damages for any pain and suffering the decedent experienced from the accident

  • Loss of the decedent’s services at home that must now be done by paid workers
  • Costs of grief counseling
