Here’s everything you need to know about how to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Wisconsin.

What is a Wrongful Death Lawsuit & Who Can File?

Wrongful death statutes allow a representative of the estate of a deceased person to file a civil lawsuit against the person or entity (such as a company) who caused the death of another, through negligence or intentional action.

In Wisconsin, the following individuals can file a wrongful death claim:

A personal representative of the deceased individual’s estate
A surviving spouse or domestic partner
A parent, guardian, or child of the deceased
Any person entitled to recoverable damages

Wisconsin law puts a time limit on your right to file a lawsuit after an accident. Important evidence can slip away while you waste time debating whether to contact an attorney. Anyone with a wrongful death case must seek legal help as soon as possible to ensure your personal injury claim is handled appropriately and before time runs out.

Wrongful Death Settlement & Types of Compensation

Every wrongful death case is different and the types of damages you pursue depend on the facts of your individual claim. Our Janesville law firm may recommend you take legal action to recover the following types of compensation:

Funeral & burial expenses
Medical expenses incurred prior to the death of your loved one
Future income/lost prospect of inheritance
Healthcare, Social Security, & veterans’ benefits
Childcare, home maintenance, security, & accounting

No amount of monetary compensation will ever replace your loss. Our goal is to recover compensation to help your family adjust to the new circumstances.

An average settlement calculator doesn't account for ELITE legal representation

Insurance companies want to plug in a few variables in your case into their formula and spit out a lowball "average" settlement amount for your lawsuit. Break the formula and introduce an award-winning trial attorney into the picture. The amount in your settlement is determined by the strength of your legal representation, and there's no one else better to have on your side in a wrongful death case than Steve Caya.
