(USGovernment-News.Com, October 02, 2012 ) PHOENIX, Ariz. – Sometimes a severe auto accident can result in the fatality of one of the passengers involved in the collision. The attorneys at the Phillips Law Firm understand that this is a tragic time, especially for the dependents of the deceased.
In an effort to help those who lost a loved one in an auto accident, the personal injury law firm based in Phoenix, Arizona offers free case evaluations to anyone who lost someone due to the misconduct of another person or entity.
Arizona law allows for family members of the deceased to receive compensation for their loved one’s wrongful death. By filing a wrongful death lawsuit, family members may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, funeral and burial expense, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the loss of financial support and the loss of companionship of the deceased.
The most common causes of wrongful death claims are motor vehicle wrecks, including car, motorcycle and truck accidents.
In an Arizona wrongful death case, a plaintiff must prove four components of negligence. It must be proven that the defendant had a duty to the deceased, that the defendant breached that duty and the fatality was caused by this breach. It must also be proven that the survivors depended financially on the deceased and so they should be entitled to financial compensation for the loss.
A plaintiff has two years from the date of the death to file a claim, so it is important for survivors to seek legal guidance as soon as possible.
