Phoenix Arizona Wrongful Death Lawyers
When a loved one is killed, it is a devastating time for the family. Not only is there the overwhelming sadness and mental anguish understandably associated with the death, but there are often burdensome medical expenses and funeral expenses which must be addressed, as well as the loss of financial support previously provided by the loved one. There are also decisions that need to be made regarding insurance issues, probate matters, and other items that need immediate attention. Arizona offers a remedy and means to help surviving family members seek restitution from those responsible for the death of their loved one.
"Wrongful death" is a statutory claim that may be brought by a surviving family member such as spouse, child, or parent of a decedent to compensate them for the losses they sustained as the result of the wrongful death of their family member, and it is helpful to have a good Phoenix wrongful death attorney on your side to help you understand the law and create a strong claim. The "wrongful" act that resulted in a death may have been intentional, reckless or negligent, as long as it is of the character that would have permitted the decedent to maintain an action for injuries had death not resulted. Arizona has statutes that deal specifically with claims allowing compensation for wrongful death. These statutes identify who can bring the claim, who can recover compensation, and what damages are recoverable.
A wrongful death claim allows compensation for the injuries and losses that the surviving family has suffered due to the victim's death, including the victim's lost future earnings and benefits. Some of the factors involved in calculating these damages include how dependent the family member was on the deceased, what relationship the family member had with the deceased, the anticipated lifespan of the deceased, and the anticipated earnings or other benefits of the deceased.
