What Is Wrongful Death?
Like personal injury claims, attorneys in a wrongful death case pursue damages to compensate the plaintiff. Generally, in Oklahoma, the estate of the deceased must file a claim within two years. However, there are certain exceptions and sometimes the claim must be filed sooner.
Attorneys at Johnson & Biscone, P.A. can file suit against one or more parties whose “wrongful acts” (negligence and misconduct) resulted in the death of a loved one. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Catastrophic injuries
- Medical malpractice
- Defective products
- Dangerous premises, including accidents in dangerous work areas like oilfields and construction sites
Families of workers who are killed on the job may be eligible for benefits under Oklahoma’s workers’ compensation system. However, a survivor benefits claim is not the same as a wrongful death lawsuit. Attorneys at Johnson & Biscone have decades of experience helping injured workers and the families of those who die in workplace accidents receive the benefits they deserve.
