Fatalities and Wrongful Death Claim Lawyers
Losing a family member, regardless of the situation, is devastating. If you have suffered such a loss due to the wrongful act or neglect of another party, you and your family may be entitled to compensation beyond that of any life insurance policy.
Fatal Accidents Act and Wrongful Death Claims
In Alberta, the Fatal Accidents Act allows for certain immediate family members of the deceased including the spouse, parents and children to be compensated set amounts. The Act allows for loved ones to be fully reimbursed for any expenses they incur as a result of the accident and sets the damages to be awarded for the bereavement of family members.
The Fatal Accidents Act allows you to claim damages for:
- Bereavement, which includes grief, suffering and the loss of care and companionship
- Funeral expenses
- Counselling expenses
- Loss of dependency on income
