When a person dies because of his or her injury due to the negligence of another person or entity, it may be possible to file a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death claim is a legal course of action that lets surviving relatives hold a wrongdoer accountable for the death of a loved one. Under the law, these surviving relatives can collect damages for lost future wages, medical expenses prior to death and even the loss of companionship.
Although no amount of money can ever replace someone you care about, this compensation can give your family the resources to move forward after a death. It helps pay bills and provide needed support. It is also a way to make negligent businesses and people pay for the harm they caused — possibly preventing future harm of the same type.
Under Missouri law, only certain people can take legal action after the death of a loved one. These close relatives must appear in court to get approval to finalize effective action. They may also be required to notify other relatives about a potential settlement.
