When a loved one dies due to the negligent act or omission of another individual or organization, surviving family members may bring a wrongful death or fatality claim. Compensation for loss of care, guidance and companionship, out of pocket expenses related to the wrongful death (such as funeral expenses and travel expenses) and lost wages are often pursued on behalf of the surviving family members.

The limitation period for wrongful death claims is less than that for most other negligence claims in Nova Scotia. It is imperative that you speak with a lawyer if you believe you may have a wrongful death lawsuit to ensure you are aware of your options for legal recourse. For over 30 years, Wagners has represented families who have lost family members. Please give our office a call if you have any questions related to the loss of a loved one.
