Who Is Eligible to Collect Wrongful Death Compensation?
When it comes to wrongful death lawsuits, it can be difficult to know who is eligible to collect compensation. Depending on the current will and testament of the victim, anyone from spouses and children to non-blood-related beneficiaries and dependents can receive rightful compensation. There may be quite a few people close to the victim that think they may have a wrongful death suit; however, there are limited instances in which a wrongful death claim can be filed. If your loved one has been involved in an accident that resulted in the end of their life, and you believe you are owed financial compensation, schedule a consultation with Bucklin Law Office in Springfield, IL. We will review your loved one’s legal wishes and current status to determine if your wrongful death claim can be filed.
Types of Compensation for Wrongful Death Cases
Wrongful death cases can be tricky, especially if your loved one has (or has not) detailed their last wishes in a will and testament. While you may be the spouse, child, beneficiary, or dependent of someone that passed away, you may not always have a wrongful death suit. The details surrounding death, the percentage of fault in an accident, and the finances of the deceased will all be considered when providing compensation to families in a wrongful death case. At Bucklin Law Office, we understand that losing a loved one can be debilitating, which is why we handle every step of your wrongful death case so you can be left to grieve. If you’re concerned with the type of compensation you may receive, a court may award financial benefits based on the following:
