Do I Have a Wrongful Death Claim?
People who die because of the careless actions of someone else may be the victims of wrongful death. Individuals, companies or other parties that fail to act with reasonable care under the circumstances may be responsible for the fatal accident. Additionally, if a negligent individual commits a criminal offense, such as driving while intoxicated or assault, family members of the wrongful death victim may be entitled to file a civil claim for money damages against the negligent individual separate and apart from any criminal charges.
