Understanding Wrongful Death Cases; What You Need to Know
A wrongful death case involves seeking justice for the untimely loss of a family member due to someone else’s negligence. In Wisconsin, our wrongful death lawyers are well-versed in the state-specific laws governing such cases. The state allows the personal representative of the deceased or the rightful beneficiary to initiate a wrongful death claim. While separate actions can be filed, they can also be consolidated under certain circumstances.
Eligibility to File a Wrongful Death Claim In Wisconsin
Typically, eligible claimants in a wrongful death case include surviving family members, such as spouses, domestic partners, children, lineal heirs, and siblings. These claimants have the opportunity to seek financial damages for various aspects of their loss, which may encompass:
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of society and companionship
- Medical expenses
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of inheritance
- Loss of help and aid
Wrongful Death Law and Damages Caps; For Your Information
Wisconsin’s wrongful death actions are regulated by § 895.04, a statute that outlines the parameters for plaintiffs in wrongful death cases. To gain a comprehensive understanding of these laws, refer to Chapter 895 of the Wisconsin Statutes.
In adherence to tort reform, Wisconsin imposes caps or limits on noneconomic damages, which are damages that aren’t easily quantifiable, such as emotional suffering. As per § 895.04, “additional damages” are capped at $500,000 for minors and $350,000 for adults in cases of wrongful death.
