Steps to Take After a Wrongful Death

Here’s what we recommend after a loss that may involve a wrongful death claim:

1

 Request and Review the Death Certificate

Obtain an official copy of the death certificate as soon as possible. It may contain key details about the cause of death and time of passing—information that could be relevant to your legal claim.

2

Gather All Available Records and Documentation

Start collecting any documents connected to the incident or the person’s medical care. This may include: Accident or incident reports, Medical records, Autopsy reports (if available), Witness statements or contact information etc.

3

Keep Track of Financial Losses

Hold on to receipts and records related to funeral costs, medical bills, and any other expenses connected to your loved one’s passing. If they provided financial support to your family, gather past pay stubs, tax returns, or benefits statements.
