What is a Wrongful Death Claim?
Wrongful death occurs when the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of a person or entity lead to the death of your loved one. It is a civil claim, not a criminal charge, and is meant to recover financial damages for the family of the deceased. Wrongful death claims can include:
- Medical negligence: A doctor or hospital error that leads to death (including nursing homes).
- Auto accidents: A reckless or drunk driver causing a fatal crash.
- Workplace accidents: An employer who failed to maintain a safe environment.
- Defective products: A manufacturer whose unsafe product causes death.
- Intentional harm: Even if someone faces criminal charges, the victim’s family can also file a wrongful death lawsuit in civil court, separate from the criminal case.
