Nobody enjoys the prospect of bringing a wrongful death claim. Anyone going through one of these circumstances would prefer to have their loved one back because they are always trying. Sadly, there is no method to accomplish it. However, there are some situations when it is possible to hold the responsible party accountable while still obtaining the financial compensation you require to get back on track.
A wrongful death case cannot be brought on behalf of every person who has lost a loved one. We will go over the three requirements today at Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas before filing this kind of case. Call us at 909-982-0707 for a free legal consultation if you have any questions.
The death must have been directly caused by a person or an organization
It should be noted that this does not imply that the individual who caused the death must have had malicious intent. It simply means that they personally contributed to the death of your loved one by acting (or not acting) in a certain way. It might have been a case of a driver not driving safely, or it might have been someone who did not fix a car properly and subsequently got into a car accident as a result.
You need to have sustained a measurable loss
Although it feels awful, the law does not view the loss of a loved one alone as sufficient grounds for a lawsuit. You must actually provide evidence that you misplaced a certain item. Although the loss of financial assistance is frequently mentioned, this does not necessarily imply money. Loss affection, care, consolation, moral support, and help around the house are among examples.
You need to be able to back up your claims
Of course, you cannot simply go up and claim that someone was to blame for your loved one’s passing and that as a result, you have suffered. You need to be able to back it up. You must have supporting documentation, including witness or third-party statements, physical proof, maintenance, inspection, or other pertinent records, and video or photographic evidence.
Building your case will be one of the many responsibilities your personal injury attorney will have. We might be able to use expert witnesses. To find out what happened, we might be able to reconstruct the accident. We might find some fresh data. However, you can face an uphill battle if you begin with zero supporting proof.
