It goes without saying that in order to obtain financial damages your wrongful death attorney must prove that your loved one’s death was caused by the negligent party’s actions. You will need solid evidence to show to the court what happened and exactly how the other party is responsible for it.
These types of evidence can prove to be extremely useful in these cases:
The death certificate of your loved one (since it lists the cause and time of death)
The medical records (since they can show evidence of injuries or medical malpractice that led/contributed to the death)
The autopsy and police reports (if the death was investigated by professional medical examiners and the police)
Physical evidence including any pictures and videos of the incident, and witness statements
Tax returns and pay stubs (to help calculate the value of your financial losses due to your loved one’s death)
