Wrongful Death

Seeking an Injury Lawyer for a Wyoming Wrongful Death Case?

None of us expect to be involved in a serious accident. We all go about our daily lives, and, even when we hear about accidents happening, we never think that those accidents could happen to us. It is difficult and nearly impossible to understand the pain that comes along with being in a serious accident unless you have been there yourself. Accidents that lead to serious injury can mean months or even years of recovery. But, one of the most difficult things imaginable is when you lose a loved one because of the negligent actions of others.

If you have lost a loved one because of the careless actions of another, you are grieving and trying to cope. While nothing can bring back your loved one, you may be entitled to compensation. In these cases, you might be able to file a wrongful death claim. There are many different circumstances where these claims are made from medical malpractice suits to vehicle accidents.

You May Be Entitled to Compensation

With everything else you’re going through, it can be hard to know where to start with filing a claim. You might have a lot of questions related to who is permitted to file and what damages you could receive. This is where an experienced personal injury lawyer comes in. At Need an Injury Lawyer Wyoming, you can trust you will have someone on your team who know the complexities of these cases and how to address them. With a lawyer, you will be more likely to receive the compensation you are owed.

What are the elements of a wrongful death claim?

When it comes to wrongful death claims, there are 4 key elements that play a role in these cases. The cases are unique and can become somewhat complicated. Here are the 4 elements:

  • Negligence: There must be proof that the death of your loved one was caused by the reckless or careless choices of another person or party.
  • Breach of Duty: It must be proven that a duty was owed to the plaintiff. This varies based on the case but includes things such as the duty to obey traffic laws. It must be proven that the negligent party didn’t uphold their duty.
  • Causation: You must be able to prove that the negligent or reckless behavior is what caused the death.
  • Damages: Financial and non-financial damages from the accident must be proven. These damages can be shown by documenting things like medical costs and funeral expenses.

Who is able to file a wrongful death claim?

These laws vary depending on the case and the state. This is why it’s helpful to have a personal injury lawyer familiar with Wyoming’s laws on your side. In most cases, the spouse or children of the deceased can file a claim. In some cases, immediate family members such as siblings or parents can also file a claim. While these cases can be complicated, a lawyer can help you through each step of the process.
