Curcio Law has been retained to represent family members of a victim in the plane crash over the Potomac River, American Airlines Flight 5342. If you are a family member of a victim of the crash, you may be legally entitled to compensation for the emotional and economic support of a loved family member.
When a life is lost due to negligence or wrongdoing, District of Columbia law allows a wrongful death claim to be brought on behalf of surviving family members. These claims are filed by the personal representative of the estate but are pursued for the benefit of statutory beneficiaries. Eligible beneficiaries may include spouses, children, parents, and in some cases other dependent relatives.
Damages in a wrongful death case may include:
- Loss of income and financial support
- Loss of care, education, training, guidance, and parental advice.
