What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to the careless, reckless, or intentional acts of another party. In Massachusetts, surviving family members may file a wrongful death claim to recover damages for their losses, including emotional suffering, lost financial support, and funeral expenses.

Common causes of wrongful death include:

• Motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, motorcycle)
  
• Medical malpractice or surgical errors
  
• Workplace accidents or unsafe job conditions
  
• Defective products or unsafe consumer goods
  
• Criminal actions or negligent security
  
• Pedestrian or bicycle collisions
  

Filing a wrongful death claim is about more than just compensation—it’s about justice. It’s about honoring your loved one and ensuring their death leads to accountability and change.

I Lost a Loved One—What Should I Do?

If you believe your loved one’s death was caused by someone else’s negligence, here are steps to take:

1. Seek Legal Counsel Early

Wrongful death cases are time-sensitive. The sooner you speak with a wrongful death attorney, the sooner we can begin protecting your rights and gathering important evidence.

2. Document Everything

Keep copies of medical records, accident reports, funeral expenses, and any communications you’ve received. These documents can become important evidence in your case.

3. Avoid Speaking to Insurance Companies Alone

Insurance companies often try to settle wrongful death cases quickly and for far less than you deserve. Let an experienced attorney handle those conversations so you don’t unintentionally compromise your claim.

How to Find the Right Boston Wrongful Death Attorney

Choosing a lawyer for a wrongful death case is a deeply personal decision. You need someone who understands the legal landscape, but also someone who treats your case with the compassion and care it deserves.

Here’s what to look for:

✅ Experience with Wrongful Death Claims

Wrongful death law is complex. Work with an attorney who has specific experience in this area and understands Massachusetts wrongful death statutes, probate court, and the types of damages you’re entitled to pursue.

✅ A Compassionate, Responsive Approach

You’re grieving, overwhelmed, and full of questions. The right attorney will listen, respond promptly, and communicate clearly—offering guidance, not pressure.

✅ A Proven Track Record of Results

While no outcome can undo the loss, it’s important to choose a law firm that has successfully helped families recover meaningful compensation for wrongful death.

Massachusetts Wrongful Death Laws: What You Need to Know

Understanding your rights under state law is essential when pursuing a wrongful death claim in Massachusetts.

➤ Who Can File a Claim?

Only the executor or administrator of the deceased person’s estate can file a wrongful death lawsuit in Massachusetts. Compensation, however, is awarded to the surviving family members or beneficiaries.

➤ Statute of Limitations

In Massachusetts, you typically have three years from the date of the person’s death—or the date it was discovered that negligence was involved—to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Waiting too long may result in losing your right to file entirely.

➤ Types of Damages You Can Recover

A successful wrongful death claim can include compensation for:

• Loss of companionship and emotional distress
  
• Lost income and financial support the deceased would have provided
  
• Funeral and burial expenses
  
• Medical bills related to the fatal injury
  
• Punitive damages in cases involving gross negligence or willful misconduct
