The unexpected loss of a loved one is naturally a traumatizing experience, and it could bring about financial instability. End-of-life expenses do not typically form part of anybody's monthly budget, and if you lose the family's primary breadwinner, the sudden loss of income could be devastating. Fortunately, the civil justice system of Missouri allows surviving family members to pursue financial relief by filing a wrongful death lawsuit.
Was your loved one's death wrongful in the legal sense?
Did surgical or post-surgical mistakes cause your sepsis?
One of the risks involved in any surgical procedure is infection. Your surgeon and the medical personnel attending to your care before, during and after the procedure know this and should take the appropriate precautions to make sure that you don't contract an infection.
Things you need to know about filing a Wrongful Death claim
If your loved one's death resulted from the negligence of another party, you likely have grounds to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Given the grief and emotional trauma that typically follows the untimely death of a beloved family member, there's always the potential of failing to take such action until it is too late. Missouri's statute of limitations for filing such a claim is three years, and filings after that period might be invalid.

Some individuals may not even consider the possible hazards simply due to the commonplace nature of the tools they use and duties they carry out while on the job. However, allowing this mindset to take hold could be dangerous because if you do not remain aware of injury risks, you could find yourself involved in a serious accident.
