Last updated on August 30, 2024

There are few moments more devastating than losing a loved one due to another’s negligence. If your spouse, child, parent or relative has died in a serious accident, you deserve the chance to get justice and compensation for your loss.

At DLM LAW LLC, we understand how sensitive and emotional these cases can be and strive to provide comfort and support as you move forward with a claim. Our skilled personal injury attorneys have over 25 years of experience in handling wrongful death claims throughout Missouri.

Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim In Kansas City?

Filing a wrongful death claim after the loss of a loved one can help you recover compensation for the following:

  • Medical bills
  • Funeral expenses
  • Bereavement and mental anguish
  • Loss of companionship
  • Loss of parental care
  • Loss of income

Many families are impacted financially by a wrongful death, especially if the loved one lost is a spouse or parent. By seeking compensation after a fatal accident, you can ease some of the financial burden that falls on your shoulders.

However, not everyone is eligible to pursue a wrongful death claim. In Missouri, only the heirs at law of the deceased can file a claim if they have suffered a loss as a result of the death. Heirs at law include anyone who can inherit from the deceased’s estate, such as:

  • A spouse
  • A child or children
  • Parents
  • Grandparents
  • Siblings

To determine whether you’re qualified to pursue a wrongful death claim, you need an experienced wrongful death lawyer on your side. At DLM LAW LLC, we know how to navigate these difficult cases and will work diligently to help you build a strong claim. In Kansas City, you have three years from the date of death to pursue a claim, which is why it’s crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
