Wrongful Death Survival Action
Board Certified Personal Injury Attorney
While it may seem like a misnomer, a survival action is actually a claim brought on behalf of a person that has been the victim of a wrongful death. That is, it is a claim by the estate of the wrongful death victim for damages which the decedent could have recovered had he or she lived. Generally, these damages include medical and funeral expenses, property damage and physical pain and mental anguish. This type of claim is in addition to any wrongful death claim brought on behalf of any surviving children or spouse.
In wrongful death cases, the survival claims often center around whether the victim experienced conscious pain and suffering just prior to the death.
