    Wrongful Death Damages Your Family Can Pursue in Hopkinsville

    Kentucky law gives you just one year to start a wrongful death case, though it may be extended in some cases, such as if your loved one passed away in a motor vehicle accident. Our Hopkinsville wrongful death attorneys can seek many different kinds of damages for you, including:

    • Loss of companionship: It is the liable party’s fault that your loved one is no longer present in your life. They should pay for that loss.
    • Loss of financial support: If your loved one helped support your family with their income, we can estimate how much they would have contributed to your household over their lifetime and pursue that amount.
    • Funeral expenses: Paying for a burial, cremation, funeral service, and related expenses can be a burden, but it does not have to be. Your settlement or award can cover it all.
    • Medical expenses: Our wrongful death lawyers in Hopkinsville can seek compensation for medical care your loved one required prior to passing.

    What Our Clients Say About Working With Our Attorneys

    Jolin & Kris

    Sandy

    Bruce

    YOUNG MAN KILLED IN CAR ACCIDENT

    A young man was killed in a car accident when the driver of the vehicle in which he was a passenger lost control and rolled over, causing his death.

    Flora personally travelled to meet with his parents who were devastated after losing their only son. She attended court with them so they could be appointed administrator of his estate and held their hand throughout this tragic time. After months of fighting with the insurance company Flora obtained a settlement of $575,000. While no amount of money can compensate for the loss of a loved one, this did bring closure to the family.

    What About My Loved One’s Wrongful Death Injuries?

    The above damages serve as compensation for your own suffering after a wrongful death. Can you also collect damages based on what your loved one endured prior to their passing?

    That depends on what types of damages your loved one already collected on their own behalf, if any, before they passed away. Rest assured that our local firm can identify all of the damages you qualify for and fight hard for each and every cent.

    Types of Wrongful Death Cases in Hopkinsville

    Flora Templeton Stuart Accident Injury Lawyers is prepared to take on various kinds of wrongful death cases, including but not limited to the following.

    • Car accidents: There were 10 fatal accidents in Chrisitan County in 2022, according to the Kentucky Transportation Center. If you lost a loved one in a wreck on I-169 or the 68 Bypass, or any other road passing through or around Hopkinsville, our attorneys can help.
    • Truck accidents: Those involved in accidents with large trucks are at greater risk of serious injury or death given the immense size of a semi-truck. There were 102 fatal truck accidents statewide in 2022.
    • Motorcycle accidents: Motorcyclists lack the protection afforded by passenger vehicles, placing bikers at considerable risk of catastrophic or fatal accidents.
    • Pedestrian accidents: Pedestrians are likewise vulnerable to fatal accidents when struck by vehicles.
    • Bicycle accidents: Drivers who fail to check for cyclists or respect their right to the road place them at risk of a serious or fatal accident.
    • Dog bites: Complications, such as infections, can lead to death. Also, if the victim was especially vulnerable (e.g., very young or very old), they might be more likely to succumb to a dog bite.
    • Slip and fall injuries: Property owners are responsible for keeping their land and buildings safe and clean and for warning visitors about possible risks. Failure to do so can lead to a serious, even fatal, fall.
    • Work injuries: Each industry comes with its own risks. A critical injury may occur due to a fall from a height, exposure to toxic substances or extreme temperatures, lack of safety equipment, or the use of faulty equipment.
