Losing a loved one due to the negligent actions of another party is beyond devastating. The bereaved deserve restitution. Wrongful death lawyer Joey Chiaf in Oklahoma City can help collect compensation for the many losses that survivors suffer.
You may only file a wrongful death claim when your loved one was killed by the negligent or harmful actions of another party. This does not include deaths caused by accidents or illness but may consist of deaths caused by medical malpractice or car accidents.
To file a wrongful death claim, you will need to prove that the defendant owed the victim a specific duty of care. You will also need to show that the other party's negligent actions directly led to the death of your loved one and that the death has caused damages you need to be compensated for.
To recover damages for the wrongful death of a loved one, you need to qualify as an eligible party. This is limited to a "personal representative" of the estate in Oklahoma, which is often a spouse, parent, child or sibling.
