South Carolina Wrongful Death Attorney

What Is Wrongful Death?

A wrongful death is when someone is killed by a negligent or intentional act. The at fault party can be a person or a corporation. These types of cases arise from a number of different circumstances. Derrick Law Firm Injury Lawyers has handled wrongful death cases for families arising out of motorcycle accidents, car and truck accidents, jet ski accidents, defective products, as well as pedestrians that are killed while walking and/or riding bikes. In South Carolina, a wrongful death actually gives rise to 2 separate claims. The personal representative of the estate brings both of these claims:

The first is the wrongful death claim which is for the benefit of specific family members that have been injured both emotionally and financially by the death of their relative.
The second claim is the "survival action" which is brought for the benefit of the estate of the person killed. This claim is for damages incurred by the person killed, such as medical expenses and conscious pain and suffering before his or her death.
