Wrongful death claims can have many complexities.  While a wrongful death action is important for the protection of Kentucky families, they are often often not simple legal matters.

For one, there are many rules and requirements in place regarding the process of bringing a wrongful death claim here in Kentucky. For example, there are restrictions on who can bring a wrongful death claim and there are various different deadlines that need to be adhered to when bringing such a claim.  The nature of the surviving claimants will have an impact upon the types of financial recovery which are available.  Thus, the process itself can be legally quite complicated.

Another thing that can be quite complicated is attempting to successfully prove the claims brought in a wrongful death lawsuit. Among the things this process can include is thorough investigation of the incident the claim centers on, detailed analysis of evidence and the careful crafting of arguments supporting one’s side.

Who is eligible to share in the successful recovery?  Which of a deceased individual’s family members is eligible to receive a portion of a potential recovery is heavily dependent on the specific situation of the family.

Thus, wrongful death claims can be complex in many different ways. Given this, it is understandable that a family that has lost a loved one in an accident may feel rather daunted by the prospect of even looking into the possibility of a wrongful death claim, and may be tempted to simply not give any thought to potential legal claims in light of everything else they are facing in the wake of their loved one’s death. However, simply ignoring legal matters following such a death could result in a family forfeiting critical legal rights that could help them with dealing with the financial aftermath of the death of their loved one.
