Wrongful Death
A wrongful death is the death of an individual which occurs as a result of a defective product, an intentional violent act or a result of negligence. If you are a surviving family member of a person who was killed due to one of these actions, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
Wrongful death lawsuits are relatively new. Wrongful death laws were not originally part of the common laws of the United States. However, at this point every state has established some kind of wrongful death laws. There are variations in state laws and a wrongful death personal injury attorney who is familiar with your state can help answer your questions and file your wrongful death lawsuit for you.
