People often have many questions when dealing with estates and cases on behalf of family members. It is not uncommon for disagreements to arise regarding who can or cannot bring a legal case against someone on behalf of someone who has passed away. 

Wrongful death occurs when someone dies as a result of the carelessness or negligence of another individual. For the family of the deceased person to obtain compensation for the loss of their loved one, they will be required to file a wrongful death claim. Upon the death of a loved one, the Family Law Act of Ontario provides for a recovery of financial losses, as well as the loss of care, guidance, and companionship that result.

As long as the deceased was the head of the household and the only breadwinner for the family, we are going to calculate the loss of earnings for the deceased. To determine his or her expected retirement age, we will consider the number of years left before retirement. As well as inflation and promotions, we also consider the loss of potential household income due to inflation and promotion. 

As part of our services, we make sure that all the medical expenses associated with the loss as well as the counselling are considered. It is important that all of these factors are taken into consideration, and more, to ensure that you receive the maximum payout to ensure the future of your family.
