An electrocution accident lawyer can recover punitive damages in Kentucky when the evidence shows that the negligent party “acted” toward the injured or killed victim “with oppression, fraud or malice.” (KRS 411.184) The purpose of punitive damages is to “punish and to discourage the negligent party and others from similar conduct in the future.”
Can I file a wrongful death action for my loved one’s death that was caused by electricity?
If an electrocution accident took the life of your loved one in Kentucky, you may be able to hire a lawyer and file a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent parties to recover compensation and money damages to cover the following:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical bills
- Cost to hire someone to perform the services that your loved one would have continued to provide had he or she survived the electrical incident
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of care and companionship
- Mental pain and anguish of your loved one’s family members
- Your loved one’s pain and suffering between the time of the incident and the time he or she passed away
- Punitive damages – If the defendant’s actions were willful or if they amounted to gross negligence, then punitive damages may be recovered. (Ky Rev. Stat. 411.130) Family members will receive the remaining damages in the following order under Kentucky’s wrongful death law (Ky Rev. Stat. 411.130):
- If there is a surviving spouse and no surviving children, the spouse receives the entire amount
- If your loved one left a surviving spouse and children, they split the damages equally
- If there are surviving children but no surviving spouse, the children receive the entire amount
- If there is no surviving spouse or children, your loved one’s surviving parent or parents receive the entire award
- If there are none of the above, the award goes to the estate, and once the estate’s debts are paid, any remainder passes to the individuals named in the will, or to the heirs at law if there is no will.
