WHAT IS WRONGFUL DEATH? Given the recent death of George Floyd and many others who have unjustly lost their lives, “unlawful Damages are categorized as economic and noneconomic. Economic damages associated with
death” has come under close examination. NordstrandBlack handles wrongful death cases because we believe it’s important for families to get full justice and compensation when a loved one is negligently or intentionally taken from them. A wrongful death claim is a civil action brought by the surviving family of a person who lost their life due to a wrongful act or neglect by another. The most common wrongful death claims arise due to murder, vehicle accidents, work accidents, unsafe premises, defective products, and nursing home negligence. Wrongful death can occur in many ways, but our goal is the same in every case: to compensate survivors for the losses suffered.
death include funeral and burial expenses, financial support, lost gifts or benefits, medical bills up to the time of death, and the value of household services. Noneconomic damages, also called emotional losses, are the intangible losses: loss of love, companionship, comfort, care, assistance, protection, and moral support; the loss of sexual relations; and the loss of training or guidance. In order to recover compensation in a wrongful death case, the surviving family member(s) must prove that it was the defendant’s negligence that led to the death of their loved one. The first step is proving the defendant owed a duty of care to the victim. In the case of George Floyd, the 8-minute, 46-second video shows the officer killing Mr. Floyd
by applying undue force. The officer was trained to provide a certain level of care to civilians and wrongfully abused his power. This is one of the reasons why George Floyd’s family filed a civil lawsuit for wrongful death. Nothing can bring back a lost loved one, but the family can honor them by fighting for the justice that will help to preserve their loved one’s memory. That’s what NordstrandBlack strives to do, and we’re here to help if you need us.
