In Alabama, not all deaths are legally considered wrongful. A wrongful death is when someone dies due to another’s harmful act, failure to act, or negligence. If the victim had lived, they would have filed a personal injury lawsuit instead.
Wrongful death cases often involve:
In Alabama, only the personal representative of the deceased’s estate can file a wrongful death claim. If the deceased is a minor, their parents have six months to sue. After that, or in other cases, the personal representative has two years from the death date to file.
The family has 40 days from the date of death to ask the probate court to appoint a personal representative. If they don’t, the court may choose someone else to administer the claim.
The damages awarded go directly to the deceased’s heirs if there’s no will. They aren’t subject to creditor claims.
Alabama wrongful death cases only award punitive damages. Therefore, the damages aim to punish the wrongdoer. They do not compensate for specific losses like medical bills or funeral costs. There’s no limit to these damages, and they can come from the wrongdoer’s insurance or directly from the at-fault party.
The settlement is typically divided among the deceased’s family according to these rules:

Our attorneys support and represent you, easing some of your burdens during a tough and emotionally difficult time.
To receive a settlement for punitive damages in a wrongful death claim, you must show clear and convincing proof that the defendant’s conduct was intentional, negligent, fraudulent, or malicious.

Â

Essentially, any evidence clearly showing the defendant was aware of a likely danger but still disregarded the consequences can potentially support a claim for punitive damages.
