Unfortunately, the only solace and remedy that the law can provide to the surviving family of those killed in accidents is to award adequate monetary compensation so that the families are at least “made whole” to the best extent possible for their loss. In addition, the families of those who have been wrongfully killed often are motivated to make sure that the same type of accident never happens again to someone else and that those responsible are forced to correct their errors.<\/p>\n
Under Arizona law, the surviving family members who may be entitled to compensation for the wrongful death of their loved ones include the surviving spouse, children and parents of the deceased.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n
Prosecuting wrongful death claims are technical and difficult and the stakes are extremely high. The immediate hurdle is overcoming the deep grief and often anger suffered by the surviving family that has had its loved one taken away. At the same time, the surviving family needs to know its legal rights and how to protect its interests. Sometimes, the deceased person was the primary breadwinner of the family and is survived by a spouse and young children. The surviving family has not only lost the love and affection of the deceased, but the family has also suffered a crippling economic loss which will impact the family members over their lifetimes. There is a lot to protect and families who have suffered the loss of a loved one in an accident should consult an experienced attorney as soon as possible to find out their rights and what they need to do.<\/p>\n
