Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one due to another person’s careless or negligent actions is one of the most painful experiences anyone can face. Beyond the emotional toll, families often struggle with unexpected financial burdens such as funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering.
If you’re searching for a wrongful death lawyer near me, the team at Juzkiw Law Firm is here to help you seek justice and the compensation your family deserves.
Understanding Wrongful Death Claims
A wrongful death claim arises when a person’s life is lost due to the negligence, recklessness, or wrongful act of another. These cases often stem from:
- Motor vehicle or pedestrian accidents
Â
- Medical malpractice
Â
- Construction or workplace accidents
Â
- Defective products
Â
- Dangerous property conditions
Â
Our experienced wrongful death lawyers work to hold the responsible parties accountable and ensure your family receives fair compensation for your losses.
Your Right to Compensation
Under Ontario’s Family Law Act, surviving family members — such as spouses, children, parents, and siblings — may be entitled to compensation for:
- Funeral and burial expenses
Â
- Loss of financial support
Â
- Loss of guidance, care, and companionship
Â
- Medical expenses before death
Â
- Counseling or grief support costs
Â
Although no amount of money can replace your loved one, pursuing a wrongful death claim can help bring closure and ease financial hardship.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A wrongful death occurs when a person’s death results from another party’s negligent or intentional actions — such as in accidents, malpractice, or unsafe conditions.
Under the Family Law Act, spouses, children, parents, and siblings of the deceased may file a claim for damages and compensation.
Generally, you have two years from the date of death to file a claim. However, consulting a wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible ensures no deadlines are missed.
Compensation depends on several factors, including the deceased’s income, age, and relationship with surviving family members. A wrongful death claims attorney can help estimate your claim’s value.
At Juzkiw Law Firm, we offer free consultations, and many cases are handled on a contingency fee basis — meaning you don’t pay unless we win your case.
