In the case of a death within a family, surviving family members can recover damages through wrongful death litigation.

There is an increased use of mediation rather than the courts as a means of resolving personal injury claims. Recently this process has become one of the most widely used methods of arriving at a reasonable and just settlement in a personal injury or wrongful death claim, especially in claims that would be more expensive and difficult to litigate in a jury trial. The mediation process ends the claim or litigation without any further costs to the client. If the mediation fails, the injured party proceeds to use the conventional remedy of litigation and jury trial without penalty. Mediation is a cost-effective procedure that could save the injured party a tremendous amount of money that would be expended in litigation.
