What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in South Carolina?
Under South Carolina law, a wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another. Common causes include:
- Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Workplace accidents
- Defective products
- Nursing home abuse or neglect
- Drunk or distracted driving
A wrongful death claim is filed by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate, but the compensation benefits the surviving family members.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
In South Carolina, the following individuals may be eligible to receive compensation from a wrongful death claim:
- The deceased’s spouse and children
- The deceased’s parents, if there is no spouse or child
- The deceased’s heirs, if there are no parents, spouse, or children
We’ll help you determine your eligibility and guide you through the legal process.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
While no amount of money can replace your loved one, a wrongful death claim can provide financial relief for:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical bills related to the fatal injury
- Loss of the deceased’s income and benefits
- Loss of companionship, care, and guidance
- Pain and suffering experienced by surviving family members
- Punitive damages, in cases of gross negligence or intentional harm
Our goal is to secure the maximum compensation to support your family’s future.
