What Is A Wrongful Death Claim?
This is a claim that is filed when someone passes away due to an auto accident, or medical malpractice, or other form of negligence. Defective products and nursing home abuse are also forms of wrongful death. In this suit you will seek compensation for the pain, suffering, and loss on behalf of the victim. The defendant in the case may be a person, corporation, business, or any other entity. It is important to keep in mind that this type of claim is civil, and is separate from any criminal charges the defendant might face.
