Our Lawyers Handle Wrongful Death Cases

What is Wrongful Death?

A "wrongful death" occurs when a person is killed due to the negligence or misconduct of another individual, company or entity. An action for wrongful death belongs to the decedent's immediate family members (often called "distributees"). The most common distributees are surviving spouses and children, and sometimes parents. A suit for wrongful death may only be brought by the personal representative of the decedent's estate. The surviving dependents or beneficiaries are entitled to monetary damages as a result of the defendant's conduct. The conditions for filing a wrongful death claim is:
  • the death was caused, in whole or part, by the conduct of defendant.
  • the defendant was negligent, or strictly liable, for the victim's death.
  • there is a surviving spouse, children, beneficiaries or dependents and monetary damages have resulted from the victim's death.
