Olathe Wrongful Death Attorney

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim

A wrongful death occurs when someone’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions result in the loss of another person’s life. Surviving family members can file a claim to recover damages such as:

• Medical Expenses – Costs for emergency care, treatments, and hospital stays.
• Lost Income – Financial support your loved one would have provided.
• Pain & Suffering – Emotional distress experienced by surviving family members.
• Loss of Companionship – The impact of losing a spouse, parent, or child.

To succeed in a wrongful death claim, we must prove:

• Duty of Care – The responsible party had an obligation to act safely.
• Breach of Duty – They failed in that duty, leading to the accident.
• Causation – Their actions directly caused your loved one’s death.
• Damages – Your family has suffered financial and emotional losses.

If you believe negligence played a role in your loved one’s passing, our wrongful death lawyers in Olathe are ready to help.
