Survivorship

When a person is fatally wounded in an accident caused by another party’s negligence or recklessness, the family of the victim may file suit against the negligent party for compensation. Survivorship and wrongful death cases are very similar in nature-both seek to compensate the surviving family for the loss of their loved one; however, there is one important distinction: survivorship may be filed while the victim is still alive if he or she is expected to die.

If someone you love has been seriously injured in an accident that was another person’s fault, you must seek justice. Contact Austin personal injury lawyer Vic Feazell to determine your legal options. Call 877-948-4842 today to schedule a free case evaluation.

Compensation

If a person sustains serious injuries that will most likely lead to his or her death, the surviving family may file for survivorship as well as wrongful death. The benefit of filing for both suits is that the surviving family may receive compensation for the medical expenses immediately associated with the victim’s recovery, such as hospital bills. Additionally, the wrongful death suit may recover lost wages, grievance fees, pain and suffering, and other related fees.
