- Funeral and Burial Expenses: Costs associated with laying their loved one to rest.
- Medical Bills: Expenses related to medical treatment before the death.

Wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to the negligence or misconduct of another party. This can include accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, or intentional acts. Wrongful death claims seek to provide compensation to surviving family members for their losses.
Typically, immediate family members such as spouses, children, and parents of the deceased can file a wrongful death claim. In some states, domestic or life partners, siblings, or other dependents may also have the right to file.
Damages in a wrongful death case can include compensation for medical expenses related to the deceased’s final injury or illness, funeral and burial expenses, loss of future income and benefits, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering of surviving family members.
