The Importance of Having a Wrongful Death Lawyer from McCoy & Sparks Attorneys At Law in Kentucky

Recently updated

Bardstown, Kentucky – October 31, 2024 – Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is a heart-wrenching experience. Seeking justice during such a difficult time can seem overwhelming. In these situations, securing the services of a skilled Kentucky wrongful death attorney is crucial. At McCoy & Sparks, PLLC, we understand the pain and confusion families endure after such tragedies, and we are committed to helping you pursue the compensation you deserve.

Wrongful death cases can arise from various circumstances, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace injuries, and more. These claims are designed to provide financial support for the deceased's family and hold the responsible party accountable. Kentucky law does not permit family members of the deceased to file a wrongful death claim. Instead, it’s up to the individual who represents the victim’s estate. Of course, if one of the family members is the personal representative, which is often the case, they can file a wrongful death claim. However, navigating Kentucky's legal system can be complex without the guidance of an experienced Kentucky wrongful death lawyer.

Also, the damages that are collected from such claims are payable directly to those named in Kentucky’s Wrongful Death statute. This is often very different than what is provided in the person’s Last Will and Testament. 

Certain family members have the right to file a related claim when a wrongful death occurs. A spouse, the parent of a minor, or a minor that loses a parent can all file what is known as loss of consortium claims. These claims allow recovery for the loss of love and affection.
