Wrongful Death
Wrongful Death
Survival Action
Typically, when a wrongful death claim is brought, a survival action is also brought on behalf of the decedent by the personal representative of the decedent’s estate. We will seek damages in the amount that is equal to the decedent’s income were he still alive. The personal representative for the decedent can claim damages for economic damages such as medical expenses and lost wages.
Because the people who would benefit from a wrongful death claim and a survival action are typically the same people, the two claims are usually included in one lawsuit. This avoids the need for separate lawsuits and reduces the time, grief, and expense of two separate lawsuits.
