What is Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death is a person’s death caused by another person’s or entity’s negligence, misconduct or carelessness. Wrongful death can arise from a number of situations including:

• Automobile accidents
• Medical malpractice
• General negligence
• Willful misconduct
• Product liability
• Premises liability

Who can sue for wrongful death?

In most states, the wrongful death claim belongs to the surviving spouse, children, and sometimes parents of the decedent. Likewise, in most states, a personal representative of the decedent must be appointed and the representative brings a lawsuit against the person or entity responsible for the death.
