What is Wrongful Death?
If a person dies because of the misconduct or negligence of another, the family members or survivors may sue for wrongful death. This type of lawsuit seeks compensation for the survivors’ losses. Some of the types of losses may include lost companionship, lost wages, and funeral expenses, among others.
