Has your loved one suffered a wrongful death? Get the compensation you deserve with NL’s largest and most experienced personal injury law firm.

Under any circumstances, losing a loved one is devastating. Losing a loved one due to the negligence or recklessness of someone else is even worse. Wrongful death compensation attempts to financially correct this wrong, as much as possible.

Wrongful Death Compensation

If you are able to prove your loved one’s death was caused by someone else’s negligence or a wrongful act, you may be able to claim compensation for funeral expenses, burial costs, and other financial losses. Losses may include their lost income and costs of replacing the work typically done by the deceased person (maintenance, yard work, etc.).

Additionally, you can request compensation for visitation costs if your loved one was receiving medical care for injuries prior to their death. In some circumstances, loss of guidance, companionship, and other non-monetary damages may also be claimed.

Who Can File a Claim for Wrongful Death?

After losing a loved one in an accident, many families are unsure if they should sue for wrongful death, and if they can, who can claim it and generally how to proceed

No monetary payment can ever replace a beloved family member, and losing a loved one may have material impacts on your life beyond the emotional damage. Even worse, if the deceased was the primary earner for your family, you may now suddenly face a troubled and uncertain future. You deserve compensation for these losses.

In Newfoundland and Labrador, the Fatal Accidents Act allows family members and financial dependents of the deceased to pursue a claim or sue for wrongful death.
