There may be. In South Carolina, the family members of individuals killed in car accidents someone else caused can pursue compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. Like other car accident claims, wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within three years after the accident occurred. This type of claim can be filed by the administrator or executor of the deceased’s estate on behalf of family members.
The damages you can seek to recover with this type of lawsuit include:
Medical expenses related to treatment of the deceased’s final injury.
Loss of companionship and support.
Funeral and burial expenses.
Loss of income that would have been earned by the deceased and used to support their loved ones had they not died.
