Compensation in a Car Accident Wrongful Death Case

Commonly asked questions.

A car accident wrongful death claim is a legal action brought by the surviving family members of a person who died in a fatal car crash caused by another party’s negligence, such as a reckless or distracted driver.

In Massachusetts, only the executor or administrator of the deceased’s estate can file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the surviving family members, such as a spouse, children, or parents.

Massachusetts law generally gives families three years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. It’s important to act quickly so that evidence can be preserved.

Compensation may include medical bills, funeral costs, lost wages and future earnings, loss of companionship, and damages for emotional suffering. In cases of gross negligence, punitive damages may also apply.

An experienced car accident wrongful death lawyer in Massachusetts can investigate the crash, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and fight for maximum compensation in court if necessary.

No. Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront and no attorney fees unless we win your case.
