Causes of Wrongful Death
Many wrongful death accidents occur on the roadways. Someone is tragically killed by a drunk driver or by a distracted driver who is texting a friend. Other accidents occur at the workplace. A worker falls off a building because of unsafe scaffolding. Someone is killed while operating heavy machinery. If the victim’s family can prove that their loved one was killed because someone else was negligent, then they have a wrongful death claim.
A Yuma wrongful death lawyer from Zinda Law Group can help file the claim on behalf of the victim's family. Much of the success of the case depends on getting all the evidence together, interviewing witnesses, and establishing negligence. We recommend you don't delay when filing a wrongful death claim. There is a statute of limitations in which you must file or your will not be able to move forward with legal action. Additionally, when families wait for months before filing a case, the evidence may not be as clear and readily available.
In wrongful death cases, families struggle with grief as they try to cope with the loss of their loved one. They are often burdened with a number of overwhelming financial responsibilities. Unexpected medical bills and funeral costs can add to the stress and sadness a family is already undergoing. A wrongful death lawsuit seeks to alleviate some of these burdens by helping the family recover those expenses.

I did not know what to do. I had never been hurt in a wreck before and this was a major accident that was not my fault. I reached out to Zinda Law Group and they were fantastic, answered all my questions, got me help immediately, and took care of everything!!

Filing a Claim
Most of the time, a wrongful death claim is filed by next-of-kin. A surviving spouse, parents, or children of the victim are the most obvious choices. In rare cases, distant relatives such as grandparents, uncles or an aunt may be able to file.
The guilty party may have to face criminal charges, as well as civil charges, if a law was broken during the accident. For instance, a drunk driver may face years in prison for involuntary manslaughter, but can also be named in a wrongful death lawsuit.
Once fault on the part of another has been established, you could be eligible for compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages
- Compensatory damages
- Funeral bills
