A Cowpens Wrongful Death Attorney Can Help You Prove Negligence
Your loved one suffering a wrongful death because of someone else’s negligence entitles you and your family to bring a wrongful death claim or lawsuit to hold the negligent party accountable and recover the compensation you deserve. Even if the negligent party faces criminal charges, you can bring a separate civil action.
In South Carolina, an investigation of the accident must take place to reveal the cause of death, determine whether negligence occurred, and identify the negligent party.
Your Cowpens wrongful death lawyer will also investigate and gather evidence to support your claim, such as police reports, video footage, accident scene photographs, witness statements, expert opinions, medical records, and the coroner’s report.
To prove negligence, you must establish the four elements of negligence, including:
- Duty of care: Did the defendant owe a duty of care to protect the decedent from harm? For example, you have a reasonable expectation that other drivers will follow traffic laws and exercise caution on the road to prevent accidents.
- Breach of duty: Failure by the defendant to exercise their duty of care to the decedent is a breach of duty.
- Causation: You must be able to link the defendant’s breach of duty to your loved one’s death.
- Damages: If you suffer damages such as lost income or emotional pain and suffering because of your loved one’s passing, you can hold the defendant liable for your losses.
A Cowpens Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Help You Claim Damages
After identifying the negligent party, your personal injury attorney will talk to their insurance company and negotiate for a fair settlement to cover your damages. Types of wrongful death damages a lawyer can help you claim include:
- Medical bills left behind by the decedent because of their injuries
- Lost income that the decedent would have contributed to your household if they had survived
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Pain and suffering of the decedent
- The emotional distress and mental anguish you and your family experience
- Loss of companionship and support
Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, will fight for a full settlement to cover your damages, even if it means taking your case to trial. Our firm has been representing personal injury victims since 2004, recovering over $100 million in compensation. You and your family do not have to settle for less than you deserve.
Act Quickly Before the Deadline for Your Wrongful Death Lawsuit Expires
You only have a short time to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Spartanburg County. The deadline is generally three years, according to S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530.
If you do not take legal action before the deadline expires, you could lose your right to take the negligent party to court to get justice for your loved one through the legal process.
We strongly recommend consulting with a wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible after losing someone you love because of someone else’s negligence.
An attorney can explain your legal options and work to meet the statute of limitations in your case so you retain your right to go to trial if that’s what it takes to recover fair compensation.
Only the decedent’s estate executor may bring a wrongful death lawsuit in South Carolina, according to S.C. Ann § 15-51-20.
