What wrongful death financials should you keep track of? It is best to keep a careful record with bills, receipts, and any other documentation that accompanies expenses due to a wrongful death. Here are some financials that you should keep track of after a wrongful death accident:
1. Funeral Costs and Burial Expenses
First, surviving family members should not have to bear the financial burden of funeral costs and burial expenses if some else’s negligence is to blame for the loss of their loved one.
2. Future Financial Contributions
After a wrongful death accident, you may wonder how you will put food on the table, keep your children in their home, and maintain your family’s standard of living. If your loved one’s income provided support, you have a right to recover for their lost wages.
3. Medical Expenses
Additionally, if medical bills are the direct result of the negligent action that caused a wrongful death, you deserve to be compensated. Unexpected medical bills can economically cripple a family for years or decades.
Where should I start?
If your loved one’s death was caused by someone else’s negligence, there are important steps to take:
- Make sure you are within the two-year timeframe to file a claim.
- Save the receipts for medical and funeral expenses.
- Contact Cave Law to discuss your case and file a claim.
