Losing a loved one is heartbreaking, and when their death is caused by someone else’s negligence, the grief can feel even more overwhelming. At Kimmel Carter, we understand the emotional and financial toll this takes on families, and we’re here to help. Our compassionate approach ensures that families dealing with wrongful death claims receive the support they need during this difficult time.
What is a Wrongful Death Claim in Delaware?
In Delaware, a wrongful death claim can be filed when a person’s death is caused by someone else’s wrongful act or negligence. This could involve situations like:
Drunk driving accidents
Plane crashes
Medical malpractice
Faulty products (such as defective cars)
The purpose of a wrongful death claim is to help the surviving family recover compensation for their losses. This can include:
Loss of financial support or benefits
Loss of services the deceased would have provided
Funeral expenses
Emotional pain and suffering
While no amount of money can replace your loved one, a wrongful death settlement can help ease the financial burden left behind.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Delaware law is specific about who can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Priority is given to the surviving spouse, parents, siblings, or children of the deceased. If none of these individuals are available, other blood relatives or those related by marriage may file.
