Wrongful Death

Q: Why does someone need to qualify as the administrator or executor of the estate?

A: The administrator of the estate has the authority to hire a lawyer and file suit in a wrongful death case. When someone dies, it may be the result of medical malpractice, a car crash, or some other horrible event. Our laws are designed to compensate the family of the deceased for the grief and suffering over the loss of the deceased person in the event that the death was caused by someone else’s carelessness or negligence. A deceased person can no longer fend for his rights, but his family may hold accountable those that negligently or carelessly caused his death.

It is the administrator who “stands in the shoes” of the deceased victim and vindicates his or her rights, so that the negligent party must face the consequences of what he or she has done. By doing so, not only is the family compensated for their grief, but additionally the rest of us are made safer. Those that cause the death of another must face the consequences of their actions regardless of the fact that the victim of their negligence is not around to fend for his or her rights.
