When a loved one dies, you may face significant financial burdens on top of the emotional pain you are already experiencing. Funeral expenses are one of the most prominent end-of-life expenses.
At Saladino & Schaaf, we have years of experience helping families deal with losing a loved one. When this loss results from someone else’s negligence or misconduct, you may be eligible for compensation to help cover these expenses.
According to Kentucky law, a monetary award for a wrongful death lawsuit seeks compensation for funeral expenses, court and legal fees, and remaining medical bills for the deceased. While the law allows for coverage of many wrongful death expenses, not many are aware that a legal claim can also cover funeral expenses.
The exact amount of money you can receive to cover funeral expenses depends on the specific circumstances of your case, and no wrongful death attorney can promise you a particular verdict or monetary settlement. Our attorneys can discuss the options available and possible outcomes during your free initial consultation.
