Cochran Firm Wisconsin Legal Blog

One of the most painful ways to lose a spouse, child, or parent is as a result of medical malpractice. Any loss of a loved one is devastating, but knowing that it did not have to happen and could have been prevented only makes it more difficult to endure. Right now the issue of access to healthcare is a hot topic in the news. They say that lack of health insurance is killing people. Unfortunately, that discussion is overshadowing the ever-present fact that medical malpractice is still the third leading cause of death in this country after heart disease and cancer.

If you have lost a loved one to medical malpractice you may be entitled to compensation. No amount of money can replace a spouse, but a wrongful death lawsuit can help with the medical bills and funeral expenses. If your spouse was the breadwinner, it can help you and your family stay in your home and keep food on the table. If your spouse was not the breadwinner, it can mean being able to hire help for childcare and other household needs, so that you can start picking up the pieces. A parent can never be replaced, but a child can be compensated for many of the financial benefits the deceased would have provided, such as the opportunity to go to college.
