Who Can Bring a Wrongful Death Claim?
In Maine, a wrongful death claim must be brought by and in the name of the personal representative of the deceased's estate. Attorney Turndorf can guide you through the appointment of a personal representative in a probate proceeding.
Though the personal representative initiates a wrongful death claim, the beneficiaries of the claim may include a surviving spouse, children, parents, and other family members. Frequently the family members were dependents of the deceased person for financial or emotional support.
Types of Damages Recoverable in Wrongful Death Claim
Attorney Turndorf is experienced and prepared to help you recover the maximum compensation you deserve for wrongful death. The types of damages (compensation) recoverable include:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Property damage costs
- Any medical expenses related to the deceased's final injury or event
- Loss of benefits
- Lost earnings
- Loss of inheritance
- Loss of care, guidance and companionship
- Conscious pain and suffering endured before the untimely death
- Mental anguish and pain and suffering to the survivors
Time is Short-Do Not Wait To Bring a Wrongful Death Claim
Time is of the essence in wrongful death claims. Generally speaking, the Statute of Limitations is only 2 years from the date of death. If you allow this short deadline to pass, you may forever lose your opportunity to seek a rightful recovery of compensation owed to you and your family members. And, it is essential to collect facts and evidence immediately.
