Facing the aftermath of a wrongful death is difficult enough without trying to figure out the legal complexities involved. Wrongful death claims can be more complicated than personal injury claims, and they often require gathering evidence, dealing with insurance companies, and navigating New Mexico’s specific laws.
At Sloan Firm, we’re not just any Santa Fe wrongful death attorneys. We’re locals who understand how the law works here in New Mexico. We understand the intricacies of wrongful death claims and will ensure the system or insurance companies do not shortchange you.
A wrongful death occurs when someone’s life is tragically cut short due to another person’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. These heartbreaking cases often arise from situations like:
This allows the surviving family members to seek compensation for their financial and emotional losses, such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering.
This compensates for the damages the deceased experienced before passing, including pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost wages.
The personal representative of the deceased’s estate—either named in the will or appointed by the court—must file wrongful death claims in New Mexico. However, any financial compensation awarded goes to benefit the surviving family members. This usually includes spouses, children, or parents.
We understand that this can be overwhelming, and you may not be sure whether your situation qualifies. Our experienced New Mexico wrongful death attorneys can assess your case and guide you through your options.
We know that no amount of money can replace a loved one, but compensation can help ease the financial burden left behind. Wrongful death claims can cover:
In some cases, if the responsible party acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct, punitive damages might also be awarded. These damages serve to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.
