Ontario Family Law Act
The Ontario Family Law Act outlines the legal standpoint of a family’s rights in a variety of circumstances that might impact a family’s situation. Specifically in the event of a wrongful death, the law outlines clearly the recoverable damages and who may file a claim for wrongful death within a given family.
The following family members are allowed to file for wrongful death:
- Parents
- Children
- Spouses
- Sister & Brothers
- Grandchildren
- Grandparents
The included individuals above are the only relations that can legally file a wrongful death claim in Ontario. The claim would essentially recover the damages owed to the family, the damages being the possible contributions made if the victim had lived. This would assist the family in recovering a portion of what was lost, so they may regain their future.
The types of damages that are recoverable by wrongful death include:
- Burial & Funeral Expenses
- Guidance & Care that Has Been Lost Due to the Victim’s Death
- The Victim’s Incurred Expenses
- Family Travel Expenses to Visit a Victim During a Period of Recovery/Treatment
- Services Rendered From the Time of the Accident to the Victim’s Death
