Wrongful Death

Baltimore & Howard County Wrongful Death Attorneys

A wrongful death lawsuit is brought by the relatives of a person who died as a result of a wrongful act, and it is designed to compensate relatives who depended upon the deceased for financial or emotional support. There are several prerequisites to filing suit. The plaintiff has the burden of proving that defendant caused the death, and that the death of the victim caused emotional distress or financial loss to the deceased's dependents. Potential damages in wrongful death cases include medical, hospital, funeral, and burial expenses, pain and suffering damages, and damages for loss of financial and emotional support, services, wages, and other benefits to the family members of the deceased.
