Wrongful Death
The loss of life caused by negligent, careless, or reckless actions, is considered wrongful death by the law. And you deserve to be compensated for your losses.
What is a Wrongful Death Case?
Whether it’s a death from a car wreck or trucking accident, a preventable medical error, a death caused by a defective product, or death caused by a dangerous condition at a residence, retailer, or big box store, when the loss of life is caused by negligent, careless, or reckless actions, in the law it’s called wrongful death. And you deserve to be compensated for your losses.
South Carolina law provides that a person, usually a family member appointed by the Probate Court to be the representative of the estate of a deceased loved one, may bring a wrongful death action to recover monetary compensation when a loved one has died as a result of negligence, carelessness, or recklessness.
Each wrongful death case is different and it must be determined under the law which family members may bring a wrongful death claim and which family members will be the beneficiaries of monetary compensation recovered in a wrongful death case.
