Losing a loved one is always difficult, but when you know your loved one would still be with you today if not for the careless actions of another person, your struggle is even worse.

Obtaining Wrongful Death Compensation in Seaford, Delaware

Many people put off filing a wrongful death claim because they feel hesitant to “benefit” from their family member’s death. You aren’t benefiting. You’ve lost someone, and no amount of money could ever replace that person or ever adequately compensate you for that loss.

However, the financial impact of a loved one’s death can make life difficult. While no amount of money can correct this horrible situation, it can allow you to bury your loved one with dignity and respect, and it can help you get by while you figure out where you go from here.

Some people even like to use the money from their loved one’s death to raise awareness about issues important to the deceased or to start charities in the loved one’s name.

Here are some of the types of damages you could recover through a successful Seaford wrongful death claim:

  • Loss of consortium
  • Pain and suffering
  • Medical expenses the deceased incurred
  • Burial and funeral costs
  • Loss of the deceased’s income
  • Loss of household services
