Losing a loved one in an accident is an unimaginable tragedy. Beyond the emotional pain, families often face financial burdens such as loss of support from the deceased, funeral costs, medical expenses, and loss of income.
When a death is caused by the fault of another person, wrongful death and fatal accident claims allow surviving family members to seek compensation.
In New Brunswick, the spouse of the deceased (including former spouse in some circumstances), parent, child, and other persons in similar relationships may be entitled to bring a claim.
Although the main purpose of the law is to allow recovery of financial losses (loss of support from the deceased and costs such as funeral expenses), in some cases there may also be included amounts for domestic tasks and personal care that the deceased would have provided and for loss of companionship and grief.
Navigating a wrongful death claim can be complex and emotionally challenging. An experienced personal injury lawyer can provide the support, guidance, and expertise needed to build a strong case, negotiate with insurance companies, and ensure that the rights of the family are protected.
