A wrongful death lawsuit claims a person died as a result of the negligence or actions of someone else, and that the person's survivors are entitled to monetary damages.
Spouses, children and parents can file wrongful death claims in most cases. Wrongful death lawsuits can be brought against the driver at fault in a motor vehicle accident, a negligent employer, the manufacturer of a defective or dangerous product or the perpetrator of a violent crime.

A wrongful death can leave those left to grieve in an extremely difficult situation. There are often legal, emotional and financial problems to deal with during a very trying time, a time when most people are just not able to handle these problems alone.
