A wrongful death is one that could have been avoided had a person or entity fulfilled their duty of care towards a person – your loved one. If you lost someone close to you in an accident, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the party that caused it. You could be entitled to compensation to cover the financial impact of your loved one’s death on your family and for your pain and suffering.

What Is A Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
Losing someone you love in an accident that could have been prevented could be considered a wrongful death if it crosses the threshold from “accident” to “negligence.” A wrongful death lawsuit is a civil action brought by close surviving family members who have been financially impacted by the loss of their loved one.
The lawsuit seeks redress for your losses, like loss of income that your loved one provided to the family, loss of companionship and guidance to the family, and the loss of caregiver or homemaker services. Children, parents, and spouses of the deceased victim may file this type of suit.
In some cases, the party responsible for your loved one’s death may also be facing criminal charges. A criminal case punishes the person for their actions. A civil suit, which is what a wrongful death case is, permits those financially affected by the death of the victim to recover their losses.
