What is the Process of Filing a Wrongful Death Claim?
If you have lost a loved one due to another person’s negligent behavior, your family may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death lawsuit takes place against another person who can legally be held liable for a death. Nothing in the world can take away the pain and agony caused by this misfortune, but you should pursue legal compensation if a negligent person is responsible. Losing a loved one is a traumatic experience that comes with unexpected expenses. This guide will help you file a wrongful death claim so that you can receive damages. Determining Eligibility The first consideration you should take is researching if you’re the person who is authorized to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Even if the person who passed away is close to your heart, it’s essential to understand that not just anyone can file this lawsuit. Eligibility is entirely based on your state’s statutes as they pertain to filing a claim for wrongful death. The decedent’s surviving spouse, children, parents, siblings, or other family members are authorized to file a lawsuit in certain states. In the state of Utah, a wrongful death lawsuit can be filed by any of the following people that are related or designated by the deceased party: A surviving wife or husband. Any surviving adult children. A surviving parent or parents (including adoptive parents). As long as they were younger than 18 at the time of death, any surviving stepchildren that were financially dependent on the deceased party can file a claim. Any other blood relatives, per listed in the inheritance laws in Utah, such as surviving siblings if there are no other surviving parties. Statutes of Limitation Learn your state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death claims. Each state abides by a pre-determined time limit that restricts when someone can file the claim. For example, in Montana, the statute of limitations is three years, whereas, in Florida, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the death. Residents of Utah have up to two years to file a wrongful death claim. In any case, it’s essential to act fast if you’re eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit; otherwise, your eligibility status won’t matter once several years have passed already. Initiating the Lawsuit Once you have determined that you are eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit and that you’re still within your state’s statute of limitations for doing so, you’ll have to commence the civil case. Usually, the first document that you must file for a civil suit is a complaint or petition. Submitted documents must provide the defendant with notice of legal grounds for the case, also known as facts of the case. Next, you must file a summons, a legal document that notifies the defendant that they are being sued and specifies where the hearings will be held. It’s essential that at this point, you seek out an injury lawyer that you can trust, that will fight for you and your rights.

Wrongful death is the result of a fatality caused by the recklessness or negligence of another person. This can occur in a variety of ways. A wrongful death lawsuit is a claim made against another person who can be held liable for a death. Surviving parents, spouses, or children can file a claim against the person who caused the loss. What is the #1 Cause of Wrongful Death? According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 36,000 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2019. Noting this statistic, it is no surprise that the number one cause of wrongful death is automobile accidents. These types of calamities can involve vehicles or pedestrians and can occur due to many factors, including: Drunk or impaired driving Speeding or recklessness Inattentive driving Poor weather Auto or road defects Although unintentional, deaths are far too common on United States roads.

How Can You Prove Wrongful Death?
When someone passes away, it takes an emotional toll on their family. Moreover, it can lead to financial hardship. Fortunately, laws in every state can help ease financial problems if a person is legally responsible for causing the victim’s death. What must you prove to be eligible for damages? Discover more information on wrongful death claims. What Is a Wrongful Death Claim? A wrongful death claim is a lawsuit filed by a plaintiff for monetary damages. If another person’s negligence causes someone’s death, the surviving family members can file a civil lawsuit requesting damages from the negligent party. Once they file a lawsuit, they must prove several elements of the wrongful death claim before they can receive damages. Continue reading to find out what you must prove to receive compensation. Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim? The person who files the civil lawsuit is called the plaintiff. In a wrongful death case, the plaintiff is usually a family member who brings the claim to court on behalf of the deceased person’s heirs. The negligent person is known as the defendant. In law, negligence is a failure to take reasonable care to avoid causing injury or loss to another person. The claim will allege the defendant acted negligently or intentionally and was responsible for the victim’s death. Establishing Proof in a Wrongful Death Case Not only does the plaintiff need to prove the defendant acted negligently, but they must also prove said negligence caused the victim’s death. They must present the following three elements: Duty of Care: The plaintiff needs to determine the defendant owed a duty of care to the victim. For instance, if the victim passed away due to a car crash, the plaintiff is responsible for proving the defendant had an obligation to obey road rules. Breach of Duty of Care: Moreover, the plaintiff must prove the defendant neglected their duty of care. In the car accident example mentioned above, they must show the defendant didn’t follow traffic laws, which is a breach of their duty of care as a driver. Causation: It’s not enough for the plaintiff to prove the defendant broke the law or breached their duty of care. Additionally, they must also show the defendant’s actions directly resulted in the victim’s death. Let’s say the defendant ran a red light in the aforementioned car accident example. They may not be found responsible for the victim’s death if it was caused by another factor, such as a mechanical failure in the deceased person’s car. To prove each of the above elements, the plaintiff must also meet the burden of proof. The court will ask them to prove the elements of negligence based on preponderance; this places the focus on having convincing evidence, rather than quantity. Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton Is Here for You No matter the circumstances, losing a loved one, is a terrible experience. At Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton, we know nothing can erase the pain of losing someone dear to your heart. However, filing a wrongful death claim can help you hold those responsible accountable for their negligence. Our compassionate wrongful death attorneys are here for you.

What Are the Legal Consequences of Hitting a Pedestrian?
Involved in a pedestrian-auto accident? Contact us today! Getting behind the wheel and driving a vehicle is a great responsibility. It requires full attention and focus on avoiding hitting other vehicles, property, and pedestrians. According to the Utah Injury Prevention Agency, more than 800 Utahns are involved in an auto-pedestrian accident and are either injured or killed each year. Continue reading to learn what to expect and potential legal consequences of hitting a pedestrian. The Legal Consequences of Hitting a Pedestrian Hitting a pedestrian with a vehicle inevitably leads to consequences. These repercussions can be minor or significant and can lead to citations, criminal charges, and, in extreme cases, a loss or suspension of driver’s licenses. Being a responsible driver means being an informed driver. Citations You can expect some kind of citation and fine if you are involved in a pedestrian-auto accident. The amount of the citation varies in range based on the cause of the accident. A penalty is likely to accrue a higher amount if you hit a pedestrian, because of negligence than if you hit a pedestrian while jaywalking. Criminal Charges A criminal charge is a formal accusation made by the government. Hitting a pedestrian can result in criminal charges. Leaving the scene of an accident or “hit and run” accidents can result in a misdemeanor, up to 90 days in prison, and significant fines in Utah. Whether the driver of the vehicle caused the crash or not, they are required by law to stop. If a pedestrian is hit by a car and killed, the driver can face manslaughter charges, a felony that can lead to long-term jail time. Criminal charges may be dropped if the driver of the vehicle that hits a pedestrian stops and takes other required steps to report the accident. Loss or Suspension of a Driver’s License Driving is a privilege, which comes with even greater responsibility. In some cases, a driver that has hit a pedestrian can have their license suspended. In these types of instances, your license becomes invalid for a certain amount of time. In more extreme cases, such as driving under the influence or purposefully hitting a pedestrian, licenses can be revoked entirely. Depending on the situation, drivers will be required to complete specific steps to have their license reinstated if allowed. Protect yourself by getting familiar with the rights and duties of drivers and pedestrians alike. Both drivers and pedestrians should know the laws and responsibilities of both parties. Of course, like all things, these laws have exceptions that may be granted. If you have been in an accident involving a vehicle and pedestrian, you should seek proper representation and should not try to handle your case alone.

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Claim? Even though it’s a stressful time for family members, it’s important to file a wrongful death claim as soon as possible. All civil actions, including ones regarding death, have time limits for when they must be filed; this is known as a statute of limitations. Learn more about the statute of limitations and how it can impact your lawsuit. General Information on Wrongful Death Claims A wrongful death claim can arise from any fatal situation, such as: Car Crashes Workplace Mishaps Negligent Security Medical Malpractice Product Liability Cases They differ from personal injury claims because a survivor can file the complaint on behalf of the deceased person. The following people can file a claim: The surviving spouse The surviving domestic partner The deceased person’s children Anyone who the law may entitle to property through succession, such as parents or siblings Parties who can prove they were financially dependent on the deceased person, such as a putative spouse, stepchildren, or the putative spouse’s children You can file a lawsuit against a person, company, or government agency. For instance, in a car accident involving a drunk driver and hazardous road conditions, a wrongful death action may include the following defendants: The drunk driver The constructor of the faulty road The manufacturer or distributor of a defective part of the vehicle The person who sold or gave alcohol to the impaired driver Understanding Statutes of Limitations A statute of limitations is the amount of time you have to file a court case, and it applies to both civil and criminal matters. The statute of limitations for some cases is six months, but for more severe crimes, such as felonies, it ranges from three to six years. However, some crimes have no time limit, and charges can be filed at any time, even decades after the crime occurred. Each state has its own statute of limitations on wrongful death claims. For example, in Utah, it must be filed within two years of the date of the person’s death. Can the Statute of Limitations Ever Pause? All hope is not lost if the statute of limitations period for your case expires. Here are two last resort options that may extend the time limit: Tolling: This refers to pausing the statute of limitations, which usually only happens if a criminal flees their state or conceals evidence. Having the statute of limitations waived by the court: A plaintiff may ask the judge to waive the statute of limitations so they can file a lawsuit. However, these attempts are usually unsuccessful, as specific criteria must be met.

Wrongful Death and Loss of Income
The financial struggles that often accompany the death of a loved one can make an already difficult time seem unbearable. Whether your loved one was the sole provider in your family or you shared the cost of expenses evenly, the death could leave you struggling financially. Our attorneys at Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton in Provo, UT understand how stressful the loss of a loved one can be. If your loved one’s death was caused by someone else’s negligence, we can help you file a wrongful death claim to recoup that loss of income. Wrongful death and loss of income is just one of many types of damages our attorneys can help you pursue to hold the other party responsible. Who Can File a Wrongful Death and Loss of Income Claim? Loss of income damages is generally awarded to the deceased’s dependents whom he or she provided financial support. This may include a spouse, children, and even parents or grandparents. Generally, a representative for the deceased’s estate, which may be a spouse, files the claim on behalf of all potential beneficiaries. How Are Loss of Income Damages Calculated? First, the family must provide proof of the deceased’s income and the amount of support provided. The amount of “support” each dependent receives depends on a number of factors. First, you must look at what the deceased earned previously and his or her projected earning capacity up until retirement. Financial experts may be called on to more accurately calculate estimates such as raises and promotions. The amount of support the deceased provided to his or her dependents will also play a role. If the deceased was the sole provider, the surviving spouse may receive support through retirement (age 65). If both spouses worked, the surviving spouse must provide proof of the support the deceased provided previously. Minor children can receive support through the age of 18. In some cases, children can also receive support for college if there is sufficient evidence to prove the deceased would have contributed to the child’s higher education. Why Do I Need a Lawyer? Wrongful death claims are inherently complex, to begin with, but determining a loved one’s potential earning capacity is best left to the experts. At Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton, our attorneys work with several financial experts to provide all the necessary proof of your loved one’s earnings and support, and also their potential earning capacity. They will look at your loved one’s education level, employment history, and other factors that might have affected his or her future income.

If you are, they will provide you with the legal representation needed to successfully file and receive compensation for your loss of consortium. What Is Loss of Consortium? In wrongful death cases, loss of consortium refers to the damages the surviving spouse suffers. These damages account for the non-economic support the deceased provided to his or her spouse and family. After a loved one’s death, the surviving spouse loses the companionship, love, affection, and emotional support that were previously enjoyed in the marriage. Who Can File a Wrongful Death and Loss of Consortium Claim? In most cases, the surviving spouse is the only party who can file a loss of consortium claim.

Loss of consortium accounts for other categories, like shared household chores and affection. Loss of consortium damages can vary greatly depending on a variety of factors, such as each spouse’s age, length of the marriage, quality of the relationship, and more.

Legal Damages in Wrongful Death Lawsuits
Wrongful death lawsuits are often quite exhausting and heartbreaking. The lawyers at Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton know how difficult these cases can be, which is why we take great care in helping clients through these demanding times. So many people throughout the Provo area have benefited from our legal assistance and commitment to strong counsel and representation. During wrongful death lawsuits, many clients have questions about the legal damages they can seek in their case. Let’s cover the basics and break down what damages are. The Pain of Losing a Loved One If you lose a loved one due to another person’s negligent actions or failure to act, this can cause a great deal of heartache. The death was potentially preventable, whether it occurred during an auto accident, a severe work injury, or as a result of a doctor’s mistake. Whatever the case may be, it’s important that the negligent party be held accountable for their actions. A lawyer is crucial for seeking justice and obtaining damages for the surviving family members of the deceased. How Legal Damages Work Damages refer to a legal award (often money) given to an individual for injury, material loss, or the death of a loved one. This monetary compensation is common in civil cases. Types of Damages There are two types of legal damages: Compensatory Damages – Compensatory damages are intended to cover actual financial or material losses that were related to an accident or harmful incident. This may include property damage, lost wages, medical expenses, funerary expenses, and so forth. Punitive Damages – Punitive damages are damages that punish the negligent party for their actions. This is not tied to an actual loss but rather the egregiousness of the negligence and the amount of harm it caused. It is not uncommon to seek both compensatory and punitive damages in a legal case. An Example of Compensatory Damages Say that a woman’s husband is killed in an auto accident. The auto accident was caused by a large truck operated by a driver who had not been sleeping while on the road and was inattentive, causing a fatal auto collision. Compensatory damages in this case would cover the funerary costs, any emergency medical expanses, the lost wages of the husband, cost of damage to the vehicle, lost wages/income from the husband, emotional pain and suffering, legal fees, and so forth. Calculating Compensatory Damages Since compensatory damages are tied to actual losses, it is generally easy to calculate them. Bills and receipts can be added together, and wages or future expenses can be estimated with a fair amount of accuracy. An Example of Punitive Damages Let’s continue to use the fatal auto accident scenario above to discuss punitive damages. Punitive damages will be sought against the truck driver and the trucking company for failing to act responsibly. Proper rests and breaks could have potentially prevented the accident from occurring. The punishment will attempt to deter future actions like this from occurring, and will be added to the compensatory damages. Calculating Punitive Damages Since punitive damages are not linked to anything actual or material, calculating them can be more difficult. In many cases, similar lawsuits are consulted to offer a fair range for punitive damages. Again, the egregiousness of the incident will typically determine the amount sought.

Wrongful Death Statutes of Limitations: What You Should Know
The loss of a family member is a painful experience, especially when the death was caused by someone else’s negligence. When the loss of a loved one was preventable, there may be legal grounds for a wrongful death case. A wrongful death case can help spouses, children, and parents obtain compensation when they have lost a family member due to another person’s negligence. Although financial compensation cannot ease the pain of losing a loved one, it can hold responsible parties liable and prevent other families from suffering the same fate. To learn more about your legal rights regarding the wrongful death statute of limitations, contact our Provo, UT attorneys at Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton. What May Constitute a Wrongful Death Lawsuit? When a person dies due to someone else’s negligence or misconduct, family members may be entitled to file a wrongful death lawsuit. You may have a wrongful death case if: The death was caused by negligence The death was intentionally caused The death was a result of medical malpractice The death was caused by a motor vehicle or airplane accident The death occurred during a supervised activity The death was the result of an occupational hazard The surviving family members are suffering monetary damages due to the death What’s the Statute of Limitations for Filing a Wrongful Death Claim? The statute of limitations, or the amount of time that you have to file a legal action, for wrongful death lawsuits varies by each state and circumstance of death. Many states allow two years from the date of the event that caused the death of filing a lawsuit, while others may only allow one year. Wrongful deaths involving minors often have their own rules governing the statute of limitations, as do wrongful deaths involving those with mental disabilities or fraud. Additionally, many states do not begin the clock for the statute of limitations until the negligence or harm is discovered, commonly called the “date of discovery.” With that said, some states put a time restraint on the date of discovery for cases involving medical malpractice, product liability, or construction accidents. For instance, a lawsuit may be brought within two years from the date of discovery but no more than five years from the date at which the harmful act occurred. Because the statute of limitations varies and can quickly pass, it’s important to contact a wrongful death attorney as soon as you suspect the death of a family member to be the result of someone else’s negligence. What to Do if You Suspect the Wrongful Death of a Family Member In order to determine if the death of a family member is grounds for a wrongful death case, it is important to contact a wrongful death attorney. A wrongful death attorney can evaluate the circumstances surrounding the death of your loved one to determine if there are grounds for a lawsuit. If you suspect the death of your family member was caused by someone’s negligence or misconduct, it is vital to contact an attorney immediately to ensure a case is filed before the statute of limitations runs out. Contact the Attorneys of Flickinger Sutterfield & Boulton If you suspect a family member has been the victim of wrongful death, we encourage you to contact our wrongful death attorneys to learn more about your legal rights.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
A wrongful death lawsuit is filed when someone is killed as a result of the negligence of another person or party. The loved ones of the deceased filed the lawsuit in order to recover damages. These damages will cover funerary expenses, emotional pain and suffering, and other financial or material hardships associated with the death. In addition, punitive damages will be sought to punish the negligent party for their actions. The attorneys at our Provo law firm would like to consider who is eligible to file these kinds of lawsuits, and why it’s important to have an attorney on your side. Who Is Eligible to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit In the state of Utah, the following people are eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit: The surviving spouse of the deceased The surviving adult children of the deceased The surviving birth parents of the deceased The surviving adoptive parents of the deceased Other surviving relatives of the deceased depending on Utah inheritance law In addition, personal representatives of the deceased’s estate can potentially file a wrongful death lawsuit. Why This Is the Case These laws on who is allowed to file wrongful death lawsuits help ensure that relatives and heirs of the deceased are able to seek damages. They prevent people who have no interest in the deceased and their interests from filing a lawsuit and attempting to recover damages for their own financial benefit. Are There Exceptions to These Laws? There are some exceptions to the above, but they might be rare. Sometimes the internal working of families and relations to the deceased can be complicated, and lead to a number of disagreements about who should file. In such cases, these matters can be discussed with skilled wrongful death attorneys who can help determine the best interests for various parties involved, particularly those with close ties to the deceased. Remember: File Within the Statute of Limitations In addition to restrictions on who can file a wrongful death lawsuit, there are also time limits to consider. These are known as the statute of limitations. In Utah, the statute of limitations in a wrongful death lawsuit is two years from the date of the death of a loved one; the statute of limitations is one year from the date of the death of a loved one if a government entity is responsible for the loved one’s death. Failure to file a wrongful death lawsuit within this time means that legal action cannot be pursued in the future.
