How will an attorney help you with this case?
It is vital that an attorney handled these complex cases. Most grieving family members do not have the legal experience or resources necessary to secure complete compensation for their loved one’s death. A Covington wrongful death attorney will be responsible for:
- Thoroughly investigating the incident by obtaining all evidence related to the incident (accident reports, photo or video surveillance, eyewitness accounts, and more).
- Working with economic and medical experts to properly calculate the total losses incurred by surviving family members.
- Negotiating with all parties in order to secure the compensation the grieving family is entitled to and preparing for trial if a fair settlement offer is not made.
Wrongful death cases happen in a variety of ways
Under Kentucky law, we can see that wrongful death is defined as “the death of a person (that) results from an injury inflicted by the negligence or wrongful act of another.” This wrongful act or negligence could be committed by another person, business, or entity.
In Kentucky, the court will name or appoint someone to be the personal representative for the deceased’s estate. This person will be responsible for bringing a wrongful death claim. Wrongful death compensation in Kentucky will be distributed to a surviving spouse and any surviving children. If there is no surviving spouse or children, the deceased person’s parents can receive the compensation.
There are various ways that these cases arise, and our Covington wrongful death attorneys regularly help family members of those who have been killed due to:
- Careless or negligent drivers
- Drunk or impaired drivers
- Distracted driving behavior
- Commercial truck accidents
- Unsafe working conditions
- Defective prescription drugs
- Medical mistakes
