What is Wrongful Death

“Wrongful death” is a legal term for a death caused by someone’s carelessness, negligence or intention. In such situations, family members and beneficiaries can file a claim against the person who caused the death. These individuals typically include the victim’s spouse, children, parents or siblings.
