Legal Guidance After The Loss Of A Loved One
At the Law Office of Daniel E. Stuart, P.A., we help families who are dealing with the loss of someone they love due to another person’s actions. These are some of the most difficult cases we handle, and we understand the emotional and financial toll this kind of loss can have. We’re here to help our clients understand their legal rights and take meaningful steps toward accountability and closure.
Losing A Family Member Due To Someone Else’s Actions
A wrongful death occurs when someone loses their life due to another party’s negligence or misconduct. These cases often arise from motor vehicle accidents, unsafe premises, defective products, or work-related incidents. While no amount of legal action can reverse the loss, wrongful death claims allow families to pursue financial recovery for things like medical expenses, funeral costs, and lost future income.
We’ve worked with many families who are not only grieving, but also dealing with unexpected financial stress. Many just want answers. Who was responsible? Could this have been prevented? Is there any way to hold the at-fault party accountable? That’s where legal action comes into play—not just to recover compensation, but also to get the truth.
Wrongful death cases in Kansas are subject to specific time limits and rules about who can bring a claim. Typically, a close family member such as a spouse, parent, or child may file the lawsuit. In some cases, more distant relatives may also have legal standing. Every situation is unique, and it’s important to evaluate the circumstances thoroughly.
Damages in a wrongful death case may include:
-
Medical bills related to the final injury or illness
-
Funeral and burial costs
-
Loss of the deceased’s income and support
-
Loss of companionship, care, and guidance
