When a family loses a loved one because of medical malpractice, our attorney can file a wrongful death claim to seek payment for damages. This includes compensation for burial and funeral expenses, lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering, in addition to other consequences of malpractice. These claims don’t right the wrongs of a negligent healthcare provider, but they help ensure that a family won’t unjustly bear the costs of their loss. They also offer some degree of accountability on the part of the negligent medical professional.
