One of the worst things that anyone can deal with is losing a loved one. It's difficult enough when the person passes after a long illness or due to old age, but when it's a sudden loss, it is often much worse. With no time to prepare for the death, there are understandably strong feelings of confusion and anger in addition to sorrow. It can be difficult to figure out how to go forward with certain things when you're also dealing with the sudden grief of unexpectedly losing someone. Trying to care for your family, deal with final arrangements and expenses, and also get through the loss yourself is something we would never wish on anyone.
When someone dies as a result of a work accident or other sudden traumatic accident, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. In addition to ones like “How did this happen”, the question of finances needs to be brought up. Medical expenses that may have been incurred immediately after the accident can be nearly as devastating as the loss itself. Funerals are also extremely expensive, and that needs to be part of the discussion as well. Even a simple cremation costs around $3,000 in North Carolina, while the average burial is closer to $8,000. These numbers are enough to make anyone feel like their drowning, even without dealing with the loss that caused them.
Of course, we never want to put a price tag on your loss. There's no amount of money that can ease the pain, and that isn't what a wrongful death claim is meant to do. What they are meant to do is help you financially deal with the loss. Things like bills and final expenses can be difficult to deal with under the best of circumstances, but if you just lost a working member of your household, it is obviously going to be worse. A wrongful death claim aims to help that.
