The Arizona Wrongful Death Act
According to state law, a family has grounds for a wrongful death suit if the deceased would have grounds had the accident had not been fatal. Compensation can be awarded to the deceased’s spouse and children. If the deceased was a minor, his or her parents can be awarded compensation.
The damages awarded will depend on a family member’s individual circumstances, including their level of dependency on the deceased. Possible damages include:
- Loss of companionship and care
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical expenses related to the deceased’s injury
- Surviving family’s pain and suffering
- Loss of the deceased’s income and benefits (insurance, pension, etc)
The laws governing who can receive what kinds of compensation are very complex. If you are considering civil action, you will need to speak with an experienced Tucson wrongful death lawyer.
