Wrongful Death Lawsuits

Wrongful death lawsuits are brought forth to compensate the beneficiaries of a deceased person, whose death was caused by another party’s careless or reckless actions. An array of circumstances may predicate a wrongful death claim, including:

• Auto accidents
• Medical negligence
• Workplace accidents

For a wrongful death case to be successful, our attorneys must show that the victim’s death was wholly or partly the result of the defendant’s negligent conduct, even if there was no intention to kill the decedent. We must also show that the surviving family members have suffered emotional and/or monetary damages as a result of the death.

Who Is Eligible to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

Generally, dependents and immediate family members (including parents, spouses, and children) are almost always eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit; however, minors may require a guardian to file a wrongful death suit. Under some circumstances other family members may be permitted to file a lawsuit.

Contact our Jackson, Mississippi-area wrongful death attorneys to find out if you are eligible to file a claim. We can help you understand our state’s relevant wrongful death laws so that you can obtain the compensation to which you are entitled.
