Charleston Survival Action Lawyer

Another legal route to take in cases of loss of a family member is to have the estate of your loved one pursue a survival action. In this case, the estate litigates as the plaintiff of a personal injury claim to seek compensation for losses and damages of the deceased before death.

The elements of damages in a survival action lawsuit include pain and suffering sustained between the event that caused the injury and the moment of death. Other compensation recoverable in a survival action lawsuit may include medical costs, burial expenses, and other losses and damages..
