Wrongful Death Claims
The death of a loved one often has a severe impact on the surviving spouse, children, parents, and other family members. When a person dies as a result of someone else’s reckless or negligent behavior, the suffering of the family can be even greater, especially if the surviving members were dependent on the deceased for emotional and financial support.
Family members who have lost a loved one due to the negligence of another individual may be able to take legal action against the person responsible for the wrongful death of their loved one.

Common Wrongful Death Claims
Wrongful death claims often depend on:
- The death of a person due to the reckless or negligent actions of another individual
- Death caused by unjust actions by another person
- The defendant usually must be held directly liable for the victim’s death
- The deceased is survived by a spouse, children, dependent parents, or other legally recognized dependent
- The surviving family members have suffered financial damages as a result of the victim’s death
It is important to remember that wrongful death claims are decided on a case-by-case basis and the specifics of each family’s situation is often very different.
