  1. Wrongful Death Claim & Settlement

  2. How Do Wrongful Death Cases Arise? Missouri law defines wrongful death as “the death of a person resulting from any act, conduct, occurrence, transaction, or circumstance which, if death had not ensued, would have entitled the person to recover damages in respect thereof.”In layman’s terms, these cases arise when someone is killed due to the negligent actions of another person, company, or entity.

  3. Most Common Causes Of Wrongful Death? Medical Mistakes – Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in this United States. Johns Hopkins researchers say that they kill around 250,000 people each year. Some of the most common medical mistakes include errors when diagnosing, anesthesia errors, surgical errors, delayed treatment, birth injuries, medication errors, and more. Premises Liability – Property owners must ensure that they keep their premises free from reasonably foreseeable hazards and warn guests when there is a potentially hazardous condition present.

  4. Most Common Causes Of Wrongful Death? Vehicle Accidents – During Missouri’s latest reporting year, there were 923 total traffic crash fatalities. In many cases, these incidents are the result of a negligent driver, including drunk driving, distracted driving, careless operation of a vehicle, and more. Workplace Accidents – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) statistics say that there were 5,147 workplace fatalities in the United States during the latest reporting year. It is up to an employer to ensure they have a safe workplace for employees. Product Liability – Defective products can lead to serious injuries and death for consumers. In many cases, these products are faulty due to flawed designs, manufacturing errors, or labeling errors.

  5. Compensation Is Available In Wrongful Death Cases? ● Funeral and burial expenses ● Loss of future income and benefits of the deceased ● Cost of pre-death medical care ● Pain and suffering damages ● Loss of companionship damages ● Loss of consortium damages ● Punitive damages against the negligent parties

  6. Who Can Bring A Wrongful Death Lawsuit Not everyone can bring a wrongful death lawsuit. In Missouri, the only people who can file these cases are: ● The surviving spouse, child, or grandchild of the decedent ● The parents of the decedent. If the deceased person has no surviving spouse, children, grandchildren, or parents, then a sibling of the deceased person may bring a case. If there is no surviving sibling, then a representative of the deceased person’s estate may bring a wrongful death claim.
