There are two types of damages that a wrongful death claim allows the family to recover from the responsible parties. They are general and punitive damages. Punitive damages serve as a sort of punishment to the responsible party if they knowingly put your loved one at risk. Other damages that can be awarded to the victims are compensation for medical expenses, future medical expenses, lost wages, future lost wages, pain and suffering, and sometimes loss of companionship.
The definition of wrongful death is a death caused by someone else’s negligent, reckless, or criminal conduct. An individual, company, corporation, or organization can be held responsible for the negligent acts. The loved ones that are able to file a wrongful death claim are the deceased’s surviving spouse and children, and in some cases, parents and siblings.

• A doctor failing to diagnose a fatal disease
