Emotional Trauma - Loss of Consortium

A wrongful death lawsuit is governed by very strict state liability statutes. Only certain persons may file a claim and then only within a certain period of time:

• If the victim was married, only the surviving spouse, personal representative, or special administrator of the estate may file a claim
• In many cases, including medical malpractice, there can only be a claim where there is a surviving spouse or a minor heir
• Claims must be carefully screened to determine if they meet all state requirements
• Failure to properly screen a case or observe filing deadlines could bar your claim from consideration regardless of merit.

Although she stayed competitive through her junior high years, by 9th grade the holes in her early education were beginning to take their toll. In 1999 she enrolled in Bay View High School as a 9th grader and immediately was overwhelmed by the high school curriculum. As she began to fall further and further behind in school...(Read the whole tragic story of how Christy died and the lawsuit that ensued...)
