Wrongful Death
DO YOU HAVE A CLAIM?

If you or someone you know has lost a loved one, Missouri law allows the mother, father, children, brothers, sisters, and possibly even other relatives, to bring a claim against the persons or company at fault.  If your family member was killed in an automobile accident, semi-truck accident, or work-related injury, you might wonder whether you have a claim, and if you don't have a claim, what 'damages' you can expect.  In Missouri, you might have a claim for wrongful death if you can prove the following: 1. the death of a loved one; 2. the death was caused by negligence of another; 3. the death caused you to lose the loved one's companionship and support.

Your 'damages' for wrongful death could include.

1. Economic damages such as lost wages
2. Funeral expenses
3. Loss of the loved ones support and guidance
4. Medical bills before the death

Your time limit for filing a wrongful death action is shorter than other claims of negligence, so you must act quickly to avoid losing your right to file a case on the death of your loved one.
