Wrongful death eligibility following a car accident

There are many different reasons why people become victims of auto accidents. While the vast majority of accidents result in minor injuries or only damage to vehicles, an estimated 2,800 people are actually killed on Canadian roads every year. In some of these cases, the death was due to negligence or misconduct of another person or company.

Wrongful death
suits can be claimed by a surviving husband or wife, children, parents, brothers or sisters when negligence, reckless or intentional misconduct has cased the death of a family member.

What compensation can you solicit?
Surviving family members can sue the negligent party for a wide range of compensation, including:
  • Medical/funeral costs
  • Lost wages, including future earnings
  • Lost benefits
  • Lost inheritance
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of support or companionship

Each case is unique and will require an experienced attorney to examine your situation and fight for your family's rights. At Findlay Law, our team of wrongful death attorneys is skilled in investigating the cause of death in a sensitive, professional, timely manner.
