When should I file a wrongful death lawsuit?

When a person passes away from someone else’s mistakes, his or her loved ones may be emotionally devastated. Sadly, they may also suffer financial difficulties due to the many costs associated with funeral arrangements and the possible loss of the deceased’s income. While it may be difficult to think about taking legal action to pursue compensation for these expenses, there are limits to the amount of time a deceased’s family members have to file a lawsuit. In Wisconsin, this limit is set at 3 years from the date of passing.

While no amount of compensation can replace the person you lost, a successful lawsuit may provide you with much needed financial support. Let an attorney shoulder your wrongful death claim and help you pursue the compensation you need. For more information, contact the Milwaukee wrongful death attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. at 800-242-2874 today.

Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit?

The individuals eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit will vary based on the deceased’s family. If the deceased was married and had children, their spouse and children have the power to file for compensation. If the individual was an adult and had no spouse or no children, the siblings and parents of the deceased may file. If the individual was a young child, the child’s parents can file a claim.

Working out the details of a wrongful death lawsuit can prove unfortunately complicated at an already difficult time. If your loved one has recently passed because of another party’s actions or inaction, we may be able to help you sort out the details and pursue justice.
