Wrongful Death Lawyer

At Bonn Law, we understand that losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is an unimaginable loss. Our team of dedicated and compassionate wrongful death attorneys is here to support you through this difficult time and help you seek the justice and compensation you deserve.

Understanding Wrongful Death Claims

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. Pursuing a wrongful death claim can help your family find justice and financial support during this difficult time. Here’s what you need to know about the legal process.

Determining Eligibility to File a Claim

In Ontario, the following individuals may be eligible:

  • Spouse (married or common-law)
  • Children (including stepchildren or dependents)
  • Parents (biological or adoptive)
  • Grandparents or siblings

What Compensation Can You Recover in a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death claim is designed to provide financial relief to the surviving family members of the deceased. Compensation typically falls into two primary categories:

Economic Damages (Financial Losses)

These cover the measurable financial impact of losing a loved one, including:
  • Loss of income if you are unable to work due to your family member’s death
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Loss of financial support (income the deceased would have provided)
  • Medical expenses incurred before passing (if applicable)
  • Loss of household contributions (chores, caregiving, etc.)

Non-Economic Damages (Emotional & Psychological Impact)

These losses are more difficult to quantify but equally important:
  • Loss of care, companionship and guidance
  • Emotional distress and suffering experienced by surviving family members
At Bonn Law, our legal team works to ensure that all possible damages are fully accounted for in your claim.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death Cases

Wrongful deaths can happen in a variety of tragic situations. Some of the most common causes include:
  • Motor Vehicle Accidents: These include car, truck, and motorcycle collisions. They can also be related to pedestrian and bicycle accidents and drunk or distracted driving incidents.
  • Medical Malpractice: In the case of surgical errors, misdiagnosis or, delayed diagnosis, or negligent emergency room treatment, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim.
If your loved one’s passing was caused by any of these situations, our team can help you explore your legal options.
