Wrongful Death Suits: Seeking Justice for Families Who Have Lost Loved Ones

No family should ever have to face losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful behavior. Unfortunately, at Granite Law Group, based in New Hampshire, we know this is a tragic reality for many people across the country. In such cases, families can turn to a wrongful death lawsuit to seek justice for their loss. A wrongful death case is a civil action that allows the deceased person’s family or dependents to hold the responsible party accountable for knowingly or negligently causing the death of another person and receive compensation for the damages they have suffered. It is a powerful tool for families to seek justice and closure to hold those responsible for their loved one’s death accountable.

What Constitutes a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

When the death of an individual is caused by the careless, reckless, or deliberate actions of another person, their surviving family members or dependents may file a wrongful death suit in civil court. This allows families to seek justice for their loved one’s death by seeking damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and emotional suffering. It is important to note that a wrongful death lawsuit is not a criminal charge and does not always result in jail time for the defendant. Instead, the purpose of this type of lawsuit is to compensate the surviving family members for the losses associated with the death of their loved one.

Why Do Families File Wrongful Death Suits?

Families of those who have lost their lives due to the negligence or intentional harm of another individual, company, or organization have the right to seek justice and compensation for their loved one’s death. In many cases, wrongful death lawsuits can help bring closure to the victims’ families by holding the responsible parties accountable and providing financial compensation for medical bills, funeral expenses, and loss of income.

When the law fails to incarcerate a wrongful death lawsuit can also provide closure for families with unanswered questions about their loved one’s death. When faced with a tragedy like this, seeking answers and a sense of closure is natural. Wrongful death lawsuits can help provide both by uncovering the truth behind the incident and seeking justice for your loved one.
