Without a doubt, one of the most terrible things a parent can go through is losing a child. Feelings of injustice and helplessness can exacerbate pain and suffering when someone else’s carelessness or wrongdoing caused the loss. We at the David W. Martin Law Group are aware of the difficulties that come with filing wrongful death lawsuits on behalf of children. We’ll go over some of the unique factors that must be taken into consideration when seeking justice for a child’s untimely death in this blog post.

How to Determine If You Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Certain family members may bring a wrongful death lawsuit in South Carolina on behalf of a deceased minor, according to the law. This usually involves the child’s parents, though in some cases, other family members may also have the right to file a claim. If you want to file a wrongful death lawsuit on your child’s behalf, our attorneys can assist you in understanding your legal options and rights.
Determining Damages in Minors’ Wrongful Death Cases
Determining damages in cases of wrongful death involving children can be very difficult. Even while there will never be money to completely make up for the death of a child, damages may include costs associated with medical care, burial and funeral fees, lost wages, loss of companionship, and mental distress. With the knowledge and tools at their disposal, our lawyers can fairly determine the entire scope of your losses and fight for the highest possible settlement on your behalf.
Safeguarding Minor Beneficiaries’ Interests
Particular care must be taken to safeguard the interests of minor children who are recipients of wrongful death settlements or judgments. Our lawyers can assist in setting up guardianships or trust agreements to guarantee that any money granted to beneficiaries who are minors is handled and dispersed appropriately.
