Wrongful
death lawsuit funding (a.k.a. accidental death lawsuit funding and
fatal accident lawsuit funding) is meant to financially assist you
after the real
human tragedy of losing a family member to an untimely death caused by
the negligence of another party.
The deceased party must be a family member such as:
- spouse
- child
- parent
- sibling
Some of the situations in which wrongful death occur include (but are
not limited
to)
the following.
- motor vehichle accidents (e.g. car, truck, motorcycle)
- pedestrian accidents
- mass transportation accidents (airplane, train, bus, ship)
- medical malpractice/negligence
- work-related accidents
- product failures or defects (e..g. unexpected drug side
effects)
- failure to provide adequate security
The strongest cases are probably those
involving the loss of a "breadwinner" of the family, but advances are
also possible in cases not involving "breadwinners".
The valuation of wrongful
death cases will include compensating the surviving familly members for
the following.
- medical expenses
- funeral expenses
- loss of future income from a spouse or parent
- loss of companionship or service
The amount that can be advanced is
limited to 10% of known insurance coverage. Please consult
your attorney to be sure the statute of limitations (the time limit in
which legal action can started for a given case) has not expired for
your wrongful death case. Wrongful death lawsuit funding advances
can only be made to adults.
