What Role Does the Client Have in a Wrongful Death Claim?

Answer:

Sometimes we’re asked by clients who are hiring us for wrongful death of a loved one what role they will be playing in this case. There are several things that loved ones can do to help us to move the case forward. Collecting any economic documents at home – tax returns, policy of insurance, benefit statements, retirement statements— is one. These critical documents will help us prove what the decedent was earning and contributing to the family, and then calculate what kind of economic loss the family will suffer in the future.
