Fatal Injuries and Wrongful Death Cases
Fatal injuries resulting from accidents are devastating events that can profoundly impact families. In Canada, wrongful death cases arise when a person’s death is caused by the negligent or intentional actions of another party. These cases involve seeking justice and compensation for the surviving family members who have suffered the loss of their loved one.
In the aftermath of a fatal accident, family members left behind face not only the emotional devastation but also the practical and legal challenges that follow. They may need to deal with insurance forms, legal issues, and other financial obligations. This is where experienced personal injury lawyers specializing in wrongful death cases can provide crucial support.
Wrongful death settlements can offer coverage for a variety of damages and expenses, including funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and emotional distress. Eligibility for compensation under Ontario’s Family Law Act extends to spouses (common law or otherwise), children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, and siblings of the deceased person, regardless of financial dependency. In some circumstances, family members may also be able to advance their own claims for compensation for mental shock.

We are dedicated to investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident, determining liability, and protecting the rights of surviving family members.
