What Is a Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death is the death of a person due to the wrongful or negligent conduct of another person, organization, or entity. Wrongful death lawsuits are typically filed by surviving family members of the deceased, including spouses, children, parents, and other close relatives.

Wrongful death is usually caused by a fatal accident, but it can also be the result of intentional harm inflicted by another person, such as in a manslaughter or murder case. No matter how the wrongful death occurred, surviving family members can file a claim for damages against the responsible party or parties in an attempt to move forward after this tragic loss.
