Wrongful Death Claims
COMMON CAUSES OF WRONGFUL DEATH
Fatal accidents can occur anytime, anywhere. Car accidents, truck accidents, bicycle accidents, and all other kinds of accidents can all result in the death of an innocent victim. Christina Gill P.C. is dedicated to recovering maximum compensation for people who have suffered damages because of someone else’s negligence. Our firm can provide an Orlando wrongful death lawyer who has the experience that you need to obtain justice and compensation for your lost family member.
WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT LOANS
Contrary to what it might sound like, a wrongful death lawsuit loan has nothing to do with paying your lawyer — the wrongful death lawyers at Christina Gill P.C. exclusively work on a contingent fee basis, so if they lose your case, you don’t have to pay them at all. Rather, such a loan is essentially a loan against your lawsuit’s presumed future payout. It is important to note that in order to get a wrongful death lawsuit loan, you must already be in settlement negotiations.
BENEFITS OF A WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT LOAN
The biggest benefit of a wrongful death lawsuit loan is simple, you have bills to pay, and if the family breadwinner has recently passed away, you have no income to pay them with. Such a loan will give you the money you need today in case the lawsuit drags on for months or years.
Wrongful death lawsuit loans can also help you hold out for a bigger settlement, instead of being forced to accept a settlement out of desperation.

MEDICAL BILLS AND FUNERAL EXPENSES
Compensation for items such as funeral costs and any medical bills related to the decedent’s final injury or illness may be recovered if they were paid by the family members. Expenses that were paid directly by the estate are recoverable.
LOSS OF SUPPORT AND SERVICES
Family members may be able to recover the value of any support or household services provided by the decedent. For example, if the decedent was a stay at home parent who cared for the children while the other spouse worked, there may be recovery for the reasonable value of daycare expenses.
LOSS OF COMPANIONSHIP AND PROTECTION
The spouse and children of a decedent may be able to recover for the loss of emotional support, friendship, and the instruction and guidance that a child would receive from a parent.
MENTAL PAIN AND SUFFERING
Certain survivors can recover for the emotional pain and suffering they have sustained as a result of the loss of their loved one.
The estate of the deceased person can also recover damages, including:
LOST EARNINGS
Future lost earnings may also be recoverable. These lost earnings include what the decedent would have earned had they continued working up until typical retirement age. This also includes the value of any lost benefits such as health insurance the decedent would have received as part of their employment. Calculating future lost earnings depends on the decedent’s education, career, and age. Loss of future earnings is usually proven with the testimony of an economist or other experts on wages and salaries who will determine the decedent’s earning capacity.
LOST ACCUMULATION OF VALUE OF THE ESTATE
The estate can also recover the value of any investments or other income that would have accumulated if not for the wrongful death.
