A wrongful death claim is brought by the family of a deceased person who died due to the negligence, recklessness or intentional actions of another person. Wrongful death claims can be initiated by the parents, spouse, children, siblings, grandparents or grandchildren of the deceased.

Wrongful death claims are usually the result of a death due to medical malpractice, automobile or truck accidents, plane or train accidents, boat accidents, a death caused by the use of a defective product or pharmaceutical and nursing home abuse and neglect that results in death.

A wrongful death claim can be difficult to prove and evidence to support the claim must be discovered, witnesses must be interviewed and medical records, police reports and expert testimony must be obtained.
