The surviving family members of a person that has died due to the medical negligence of a doctor or hospital or as a result of the negligence of another may recover for the loss of the loved one.
Doctors and hospitals are responsible for upholding the welfare and safety of a patient entrusted to its care at all times. In the same manner, the law was designed to protect the public from the negligence of another in instances such as defective products, personal injury, and other cases. Where the duty towards the safety of the public is breached, leading to the eventual death of a person, the law will allow a suit to be brought.
Our attorneys have extensive experience in recuperating awards for surviving family members to cover for the financial loss, loss of services, and loss of companionship of the decedent family member. Such awards also cover the costs of medical care and funeral expenses. Other sums may also be awarded if the death of the family member occurred in a malicious, reckless, or intentional manner.
If you feel that your family member was a victim of wrongful death, please call us for immediate attention at 1-888-GINARTE.
