Charlotte Wrongful Death Laws

The personal representative of a deceased victim may pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for spouses, children, and other close relatives or dependents of someone who is killed.  A case can be made against individuals responsible for causing a death, or against companies and even government agencies. These claims can arise due to:

  • Car, motorcycle and truck crashes
  • Dangerous products, including defective vehicles, dangerous drugs and defective medical devices
  • Medical negligence
  • Nursing home abuse and negligence
  • Property owner negligence
  • Construction site accidents

In these and many other situations, you need to determine who was responsible for causing the death and you must be able to prove that the defendant did something wrong or breached some legal obligation.  Auger & Auger Attorneys at Law will help identify who can be held financially responsible and can work hard to make a case against them.

Compensation for Charlotte Families and Victims 

Compensation can be obtained through a negotiated settlement or may be awarded by a jury. The money should cover financial losses, such as the loss of the wages that the deceased is no longer able to provide to the family and the loss of value on the services the deceased was providing to their loved ones. If there were medical bills incurred before death, those should be covered, as should burial costs for the deceased’s funeral.

A death does not just cause financial damage. Compensations should also provide for loss of the deceased’s love, companionship, guidance, and care.  Proving the value of these intangible damages can be difficult, but a Charlotte attorney can help you demonstrate the extent of the loss.
