What Is Wrongful Death?
In New Mexico, a wrongful death claim can be filed when someone’s death is caused by the careless, reckless, or intentional act of another person or entity. This can include situations like:
- Car accidents: Drunk driving, distracted driving, speeding, or other negligent actions by another driver can lead to a fatal accident.
- Truck accidents: Large commercial trucks pose a significant risk when operated improperly.
- Medical malpractice: Errors made by doctors, nurses, or other healthcare professionals can have tragic consequences.
- Premises liability accidents: Property owners have a responsibility to maintain their premises in a safe condition. If a dangerous condition on someone’s property leads to a death, they might be liable.
- Wrongful death caused by defective products: Products with design or manufacturing flaws can cause serious injuries or death.
What Expenses Can a Los Lunas Wrongful Death Lawyer Recover For?
At Lerner and Rowe, we understand that no amount of money can truly replace the loss of a loved one. However, financial compensation can help alleviate some of the burdens you’re facing, such as:
- Medical expenses: The medical bills associated with your loved one’s final injury or illness can be overwhelming.
- Funeral and burial costs: The cost of laying your loved one to rest can be a significant financial burden.
- Loss of income: If your loved one was the primary financial provider for your family, their absence creates a significant financial hardship.
