Virginia Beach Wrongful Death Attorney

What to Do After a Loved One Is Killed in an Accident

The worst kinds of accidents are those that involve a fatality. Not only does an innocent victim lose their life, but their surviving family must suffer the loss of someone they love and any financial damages that are involved. That is why the immediate family and dependents of anyone who has been wrongfully killed in an accident because of someone's negligence can file a wrongful death claim. These claims are meant to recover damages such as funeral and burial expenses, loss of income, loss of companionship / consortium, grief counseling, pain and suffering, and more.

The state of Virginia requires that you file for wrongful death within two years of the death of the victim. The victim must have been killed in an accident caused by someone else, or they must have died after suffering catastrophic injury as a direct result of an accident caused by someone else.
