Questions & Answers

Wrongful Death FAQ

In Utah, the personal representative of the deceased's estate files the wrongful death claim on behalf of the surviving family. Spouses, children, and parents of the deceased may also have separate claims for loss of companionship.

The statute of limitations for wrongful death in Utah is two years from the date of death. Some exceptions exist for government defendants. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your family's rights.

Recoverable damages include funeral and burial expenses, medical expenses prior to death, lost future income the deceased would have earned, loss of companionship and consortium, and emotional distress of surviving family members.

Criminal prosecution and civil wrongful death claims are separate. Even if the responsible party is not criminally convicted, you can still pursue a civil wrongful death claim. The standard of proof is lower in civil cases.

The settlement is typically distributed through the estate according to Utah law, with priority given to the surviving spouse, children, and then other dependents. We work with estate attorneys to ensure proper distribution.
