Hurricane Wrongful Death Attorney

The loss of a loved one can be difficult to bear, especially when someone else’s negligence or misconduct caused their death. Utah allows families of the deceased to file wrongful death lawsuits against those responsible, but the process can be challenging to navigate alone.

• No one should be negotiating with an insurance company in the days surrounding a funeral. We Win Injury Law takes that burden so you can focus on your family.

• A wrongful death claim has to reflect the earnings, benefits, and companionship your family will go without for the rest of their lives. From day one, our attorneys will fight for a settlement that accounts for all of these losses.

• Utah law limits who may bring a wrongful death claim, and families are often unsure where they stand. We Win Injury Law will explain your options in a free, confidential consultation.

How a Wrongful Death Attorney Supports Your Family Through the Legal Process

Utah law strictly defines who may bring a wrongful death claim and how any recovery is divided among surviving family members. Getting this wrong can derail your case and leave your family without justice and accountability. A Hurricane wrongful death attorney will have spent years handling these types of lawsuits, and they will leverage that experience to guide your family through each decision.

Most families also don’t know that Utah law may allow two separate claims: a wrongful death action for the family’s own losses, and a survival action for the damages your loved one suffered before death. Pursuing both can be difficult for grieving families to handle alone. An attorney can shoulder that burden for you: building each claim, calculating the full measure of your losses, and pursuing both actions in coordination.

What Qualifies as Wrongful Death Under Utah Law?

Under Utah Code § 78B-3-106, a wrongful death occurs when a person dies because of another party’s wrongful act or neglect. Common examples include:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian and bicycle collisions
• Workplace accidents
• Defective products
• Unsafe property conditions
• Nursing home neglect
• Dog attacks
• Assault and other intentional acts

If your loved one could have sued for their injuries had they survived, your family likely qualifies for a wrongful death lawsuit.

Who May File a Wrongful Death Claim in Hurricane, Utah?

Utah Code § 78B-3-105 limits wrongful death claims to the deceased person’s heirs: a surviving spouse, children, including adopted children, parents, and in some cases stepparents, along with other blood relatives who depended on the deceased for support. The claim may be filed by the heirs themselves or by the personal representative of the estate on their behalf.
