Dealing with Wrongful Death
Accidents happen without any warning and learning that your loved one has died can leave people feeling totally overwhelmed. The feelings of grief that people deal with after losing a loved one are often intense and confusing, and can be even more difficult to cope with after a preventable accident. Grieving individuals often experience a state of shock as well as feelings of fear, anger, confusion, depression, and more. All of these reactions are normal, and it’s important to give yourself grace and time to process your grief. Many people are able to find comfort by relying on support from their family, friends, and community.
However, fatal accidents can also cause a serious financial impact. In many cases, financial concerns related to deadly accidents can prevent people from focusing on processing their grief. In many cases, families who have lost a loved one also lose a source of income that they need in order to pay bills. In others, no longer having a member of your family means losing access to valuable services like cleaning or childcare.
