How Will an Attorney Help a Wrongful Death Claim?

Wrongful death claims in Arizona can become incredibly complicated, particularly when trying to uncover evidence that proves liability. A skilled Flagstaff wrongful death lawyer can use their resources to fully investigate the incident. This can include obtaining:

• Photo or video surveillance from the incident
• Statements from eyewitnesses
• Safety records of the alleged negligent party
• Any police or accident reports pertaining to the incident

An attorney will also work with trusted economic and financial experts to properly calculate the total expected losses of the deceased’s family members or estate. Properly calculating these expected losses can be challenging because this involves some element of predicting the future, including the income the deceased would have provided and the level of emotional support the family has lost.

Who Can File for Wrongful Death in Flagstaff, Arizona?

When we turn to the law regarding wrongful death claims in this state (Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-611), we can see that a wrongful death case may be brought to the civil court system if the deceased person would have been able to file a personal injury claim based on the actions that caused their death, had they lived.

According to Arizona law, the following individuals are permitted to file wrongful death lawsuits in civil court:

• The spouse of the deceased
• Any surviving children of the deceased
• Any surviving parent or guardian of the deceased
• The personal representative of the deceased person’s estate

In the event the deceased individual is a child, then that child’s parents or legal guardians are allowed to file a wrongful death claim on their behalf.
