• Car accidents: These can result from reckless driving or vehicle malfunctions, leading to tragic fatalities. 
• Drunk driving accidents: Accidents caused by impaired drivers can have devastating consequences for families. 
• Truck accidents: The sheer size and weight of commercial trucks can lead to severe and often fatal accidents. 
• Boating accidents: Recreational activities on the water involving boats and other watercraft can turn tragic due to operator negligence or equipment failure.

We know that no amount of money can replace your loved one. We hope that compensation for wrongful death will help you and your family adjust to the most significant loss.

The Difference Between Wrongful Death And Personal Injury Claims

When someone suffers severe injuries from a car or workplace accident, they might start with a personal injury claim to cover medical bills, lost wages and other costs. But if they sadly pass away from those injuries months later, the situation changes to a wrongful death claim.

This is important because it lets the family seek compensation for losing their loved one, covering things like funeral costs and loss of companionship. Understanding the difference between personal injury and wrongful death claims can be tricky, which is why working with a local attorney is so valuable.

A skilled attorney from Bergmanis Law Firm, L.L.C., can guide you through the process and support you during this tragedy.

How Long Do You Have To File A Wrongful Death Claim In Missouri?

The wrongful death statute of limitations is typically three years from the date of the deceased’s passing. This timeframe is crucial for ensuring that surviving family members can take legal action and seek compensation.

Consulting with a wrongful death attorney early in the process can help you take all the necessary steps within the legal deadlines.
