Wisconsin Wrongful Death Statute: Navigating Legal Waters

The Importance of Legal Guidance

When tragedy strikes and a loved one suffers a wrongful death due to negligence or misconduct, navigating the legal waters can feel like sailing in a storm without a compass. This is where the expertise of a Milwaukee wrongful death lawyer becomes invaluable.

At Rozek Law, we understand the complexities of Wisconsin's wrongful death statute and are dedicated to providing compassionate yet formidable legal representation to our clients.

​

The Role of a Wrongful Death Lawyer

What exactly does a wrongful death lawyer do? Essentially, they are advocates for those who have lost a loved one due to the actions or negligence of another party. From investigating the circumstances surrounding the death to representing clients in court, their responsibilities are vast and multifaceted.

​

Investigation and Evaluation

One of the primary tasks of a Milwaukee wrongful death lawyer is to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident that led to the death. This may involve gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and consulting with experts in various fields.

​

Negotiation and Settlement

In many cases, wrongful death claims are resolved through negotiation rather than going to trial. A skilled lawyer will work tirelessly to negotiate a fair settlement on behalf of their client, taking into account factors such as medical expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering.

​

Litigation

If a fair settlement cannot be reached, the case may proceed to litigation. In such instances, having a seasoned trial attorney like those at Rozek Law can make all the difference. We have a proven track record of success in the courtroom and will fight relentlessly for justice on behalf of our clients.

​

Understanding the Wisconsin Wrongful Death Statute

Wisconsin's wrongful death statute is outlined in Chapter 895 of the state's legal code. This statute allows certain family members of the deceased to file a lawsuit seeking damages for the losses they have suffered as a result of the death.

Under this statute, eligible family members may be entitled to compensation for a variety of damages, including:

  • Medical expenses related to the final injury or illness

  • Funeral and burial expenses

  • Lost income and future earning capacity

  • Pain and suffering

  • Loss of companionship and consortium
