Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things we face in our lives. When the loss could have been prevented, it can be even more difficult for the survivors. If someone’s negligence caused your loved one’s death, we can help you do something about it. Through our experience in helping people in these kinds of cases, we have learned that insurance, wrongful death claims, and cash settlements may be the last thing on your mind. A wrongful death claim in South Carolina is based on the death of a person due to the wrongful or neglectful act of another person. Examples of wrongful death cases may include cases involving:
- Aviation or Airplane accident
- 18-wheeler accident
- Automobile accident
- Motorcycle accident
- Birth injury
- Construction site accident
- Defective or dangerous product
- Nursing home abuse or neglect
- Slip and fall accident
We have on our staff one of just a few board-certified death investigators in the entire State of South Carolina. Our experience with getting to the bottom of these issues, and with counseling and advising the surviving loved ones, can be a real comfort. From the standpoint of your legal rights, we can help assess the financial impacts and your losses, and make sure that those responsible are held accountable.
The types of damages recoverable in a wrongful death case under South Carolina law are determined not by the value of the life lost, but by the damages suffered by the beneficiaries. Beneficiaries may recover under our law for:
- Pecuniary (financial) losses
- The loss of your loved one’s experience, knowledge, and judgment
- Wounded emotions and feelings
- Grief and sorrow
- Mental shock and anguish suffered by the survivor of the decedent
- Loss of your loved one’s companionship, care or protection
- Punitive damages, intended to punish wrongdoers and prevent them from harming others
