Understanding Survival Actions
A survival action is a legal claim brought on behalf of the deceased person’s estate or heirs. It allows the pursuit of a lawsuit for the harm and losses the deceased person suffered before their death. Common scenarios that may give rise to survival actions include:
- Fatal Car Accidents: When a loved one loses their life in a car accident caused by another driver’s negligence.
- Medical Malpractice: In cases of medical negligence or malpractice resulting in death.
- Workplace Accidents: If a workplace accident leads to fatal injuries.
- Product Liability: When a defective product causes fatal harm to the user.
Pursuing Justice Through Survival Actions
Survival actions aim to hold responsible parties accountable for their actions and provide compensation for the losses incurred by the deceased person before their passing. This compensation may include:
- Medical Expenses: Costs related to medical treatment and care before death.
- Lost Income: The income the deceased would have earned if they had survived.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical and emotional pain endured before death.
- Funeral and Burial Expenses: The costs associated with the deceased person’s funeral and burial.
