Wrongful death is a legal term used to describe the death of a human being as a result of a negligent act, such as being killed by a drunk driver or during a criminal assault. A wrongful death becomes the basis for a lawsuit against the individual who caused the death on behalf of the family or beneficiaries who have lost the comfort and support of the deceased.

In this way, a child would be entitled to compensation for the loss of a father and a wife could be eligible to recover damages for a lifetime of anticipated financial support.

The loss of a loved one is a devastating loss, because nothing can replace that loss. Money is the one tangible measurement the legal system can use to gauge what has been lost to you.
