Each wrongful death case is different, there are specific rules and laws for wrongful death actions, almost all wrongful death actions are a subset of the type of case that caused the death. For example, suppose medical malpractice caused the death. In that case, the case is a “medical malpractice wrongful death case,” if a semi-truck wreck caused the death, it is a “semi-truck wreck wrongful death case,” if a defective product caused the death, it is a “product liability wrongful death case,” etc. As you can see, these cases require a lawyer or legal team who knows the wrongful death laws for Missouri and the specific laws for the type of case that caused the death.
Dr. Brad Bradshaw’s legal team knows the specific subtype of wrongful death, such as semi-truck wreck and the Missouri wrongful death laws. Since the wrongful death action in Missouri is controlled by statute, it is not uncommon for the state legislature to change the laws periodically. Thus, these laws are in flux. Because of this, it is even more critical to have a lawyer who is up to date on the possible changes. Dr. Brad Bradshaw’s Law Firm works diligently to stay up to date on these laws.
The lawyer you hire can help you understand the complex interaction of these various laws. If your loved one has died in a possible wrongful death action, please contact Dr. Brad Bradshaw, and we will help you and your family through this process.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are several classes of people who may bring an action. Missouri law specifies that the spouse, children, or grandchildren of the deceased can file a wrongful death claim. If no such relatives exist, the parents of the deceased may file the lawsuit. To determine if you are a member of a class that may bring an action, contact Dr. Brad Bradshaw and we will work to answer all of your questions.
Keep records of all events. If you have meetings with anyone that was responsible, take notes. Be sure the notes include time, day and the person you were talking with. Memories fade over time, and people working for the at fault insurance company may try to spin facts differently at a later time. Detailed notes can be important in proving your case. Also, if there are any photographs, be sure and keep them, do not delete them from your phone. Because laws vary by state, it is important to have a Missouri wrongful death lawyer helping on your case.
A wrongful death in Missouri is defined as a death that occurs due to the wrongful act, conduct, occurrence, or default of another. This can include deaths resulting from negligence, medical malpractice, car accidents, or defective products.
In Missouri, the following damages may be recoverable in a wrongful death lawsuit:
- Medical expenses incurred prior to death
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of income and benefits the deceased would likely have earned if they had lived
- Loss of companionship, comfort, guidance, and support provided by the deceased
- Pain and suffering endured by the deceased prior to death
Yes, if your loved one died due to a work-related accident, you might have grounds for a wrongful death claim, particularly if the death was caused by negligent actions of the employer or a third party. However, worker’s compensation could also play a role, so it is important to consult with an attorney to understand all possible legal avenues.
