Wrongful Death
Wrongful death is a legal term used to describe the death of a person who has been killed by someone else’s wrongful act or neglect. Wrongful death is generally used to refer to deaths caused by negligence, intentional acts, or criminal acts.
Wrongful death lawsuits are filed in civil court and are usually brought by the family members of the deceased person. The plaintiff in a wrongful death lawsuit must prove that the defendant’s wrongful act caused their loved one’s death and that they have suffered damages as a result of their loved one’s wrongful death.
The first step in any wrongful death case is to determine who was at fault for the victim’s death. The next step is to determine what damages are available for the victim’s family members and loved ones.
