Wrongful Death

Comments

We represented the executor of the estate of a forty-five year old woman who died after suffering a heart attack. At the referral of the family's lawyer, and with the approval of the local probate court, the executor hired Robert W. Kerpsack Co., L.P.A. After consulting with medical experts, we filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging medical malpractice on behalf of the deceased woman's husband, children, mother, and siblings. In the lawsuit, we alleged damages for the woman's funeral and burial expenses, the profound mental anguish suffered by the woman's family, and the family's losses of financial support and household services. We also alleged damages for the woman's conscious pain and suffering prior to her death. The defendants and their insurance companies contested liability. More than four years after the woman's death, a jury trial was commenced. During the trial, we presented the testimony of nine physicians and eight lay witnesses on the issues of liability and damages. The parties eventually resolved their disputes, and the lawsuit was dismissed.

There is no loss greater than the loss of a loved one, and when that loss is the result of someone else's negligence or abuse, that loss is all the more painful.

While no award will ever begin to compensate a family who has lost a loved one, it is important that the families of those who have lost their lives and their livelihoods get the monetary compensation they need to pay for medical and burial costs, to ensure their financial well-being, and to compensate them for their own pain and suffering, as well as that of their lost family member.
