What are Wrongful Death Lawsuits?

At the NH personal injury Law Office of Manning Zimmerman & Oliveira PLLC, we are often asked by family members what legal rights they have if a loved one dies as the result of another person’s wrongdoing. Wrongful death lawsuits enable the family of a victim to sue a wrongdoer for damages on behalf of the deceased. In general, immediate family members or the administrator of the decedent’s estate may sue on behalf of the deceased party by claiming negligence against the responsible party.

The Filing of Wrongful Death Lawsuits

The theory behind these lawsuits is to ensure that a negligent party cannot avoid responsibility merely because the victim died. Wrongful death lawsuits make it possible for family members to recover payment for medical bills and burial expenses. Additionally, a lawsuit may be filed for the victim’s anticipated future wages. The lawsuit may also include the pain and suffering survivors have endured as the result of losing their loved one. Reasons for bringing a wrongful death lawsuit include the death of a motorist, motorcyclist, pedestrian or bicyclist that was found to be the fault of a driver.
