What Are Wrongful Death Claims?
A wrongful death claim arises when an individual dies as a result of someone else's negligence or intentional act. This type of legal action is meant to provide reparation to the surviving family members. It acknowledges that while no amount of money can replace a loved one, compensation is necessary to alleviate financial burdens due to lost wages, medical costs, and other expenses.
Our firm stands ready to explain the elements of a wrongful death claim, who can file one, and what damages might be recovered. The nuances of these claims can depend on state laws, but generally, they account for the emotional and financial losses of the survivors.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Typically, wrongful death claims can be filed by immediate family members, such as spouses or children. In some cases, extended family members or financial dependents may also be eligible. We will help you understand Wichita's specific regulations and determine who in your family can pursue this claim.
Each state has different laws concerning wrongful death claims, and navigating these differences is crucial for a successful outcome. Our experienced team is well-versed in the laws applicable to Wichita residents, ensuring you are represented accurately and effectively.
Compensation for Wrongful Death
One of the most crucial aspects of a wrongful death claim is understanding what types of damages can be compensated. These can include:
- Economic damages, such as medical bills and lost wages
- Non-economic damages, like pain and suffering or loss of companionship
- Punitive damages, intended to punish the wrongdoer in cases of gross negligence
It's essential to carefully calculate these damages to ensure that the survivors receive the support they deserve. Our professionals will meticulously assess every facet of your claim, seeking the fullest compensation possible for your loss.

The journey toward securing Wrongful Death Compensation begins with understanding how the law works and what evidence is needed. Our firm will help you gather documentation, witness statements, and expert testimonies to construct a compelling case on your behalf.
Determining Liability
The cornerstone of a wrongful death claim is establishing who is at fault for the death of your loved one. This can sometimes involve multiple parties, from individuals to corporations. Our legal professionals have the skills to decipher complexities and pinpoint who bears legal responsibility.
Securing compensation hinges on the ability to prove that the at-fault party's negligence or intentional actions caused the death. Our expertise in wrongful death cases ensures that we build a robust case to present in negotiations or court.
Gathering Evidence
A successful claim depends on a solid foundation of evidence. This includes everything from accident reports to medical records. We meticulously gather and review evidence to ensure that no stone is left unturned in your pursuit of justice.
