Burn Injury Wrongful Death: Compensation for Families of People Burned to Death in a Fire or Explosion
If a burn victim dies as a result of a burn injury from a fire or explosion, the surviving spouse and next of kin (through a court-appointed trustee in some states) can sue the person or corporation responsible for the injuries. This is called a wrongful death case.
A wrongful death lawsuit is not a criminal prosecution. The sole reason for a wrongful death lawsuit is to compensate the heirs of the decedent for their losses.
The following "damages" may be recoverable:
- Funeral expenses
- Medical expenses, past and future
- Earnings, past and potential, that the decedent would have provided his loved ones if not for the wrongful death
- Loss of advice, care, comfort and companionship the deceased would have provided had he or she lived
- Punitive damages, upon clear and convincing evidence that the acts of the defendant showed deliberate disregard for the rights or safety of others
