What Is a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
A wrongful death lawsuit is a civil legal action filed by surviving family members when someone dies due to another person’s or company’s careless, reckless, or intentional behavior. These lawsuits are meant to hold the wrongdoer accountable and help compensate the family for the emotional and financial impact of the loss.
Wrongful death claims are not just about money. They are about justice, closure, and protecting other families from facing the same tragedy.
