What is wrongful death?

A wrongful death is an unnecessary death that has been caused by the negligence of another person. Examples of wrongful death include those caused by a drunk, reckless or careless driver, deaths caused by the manufacture of an unsafe, defective or dangerous product, or even deaths caused by a physician’s failing to diagnose a treatable disease.

Who Is eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit?

Dependents and immediate family members (including parents, spouses, and children) are almost always eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Minors may need an adult guardian to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Under some circumstances other family members may be permitted to file suit.
