Ottawa Wrongful Death Lawyers
The loss of a loved one can be heartbreaking. For surviving family members who were dependent on their loved ones, the loss can be devastating!
When a person loses his or her life as a result of the intentional actions of another or by accident or negligence, there may be compensation available to the survivors. Under the Family Law Act, family members may be entitled to compensation for:
- A Loss of income if the deceased was working at the time of his or her death, and was providing for other family members.
- A Loss of housekeeping and home maintenance, particularly where the deceased was the primary caregiver for other family members.
- Compensation for the family members’ loss of care, guidance, and companionship of the deceased.
- Survivors benefit from an insurance policy.
- Expenses arising out of the care of the deceased, including nursing care, housekeeping, medication, rehabilitative devices, and travel costs.
- Funeral expenses.
Although typically the amount of damages available for the deceased’s loss of life is low, the deceased’s estate, nevertheless, may be entitled to some compensation for pain and suffering. The quantum of such damages, if any, will vary greatly from case to case.
