What is Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death claims are legal actions brought by certain individuals if a close relative’s death was caused by another’s wrongful act, neglect, carelessness, or failure to act.



If the deceased individual had lived, then they would have had the right to file a personal injury claim and seek compensation for their injuries. This lets the people left behind to pursue this right on their behalf.

• Funeral and burial expenses, if paid for by a surviving family member

• Loss of inheritance

• Loss of decedent’s household, parental, and spousal services
