Wrongful Death Claim

 
It is clear now more than ever that one person’s negligence can have devastating effects on other individuals. This is quite common in accidents that result in death. It is crucial that the family of the victim becomes aware that they have the authority to file a wrongful death suit. A wrongful death suit forces liable parties to become accountable for their actions.
 
A wrongful death claim is a claim brought against a defendant who has caused someone’s death, either through negligence (i.e. reckless driving) or as a result of some intentional action.
