Wrongful death can be one of the most challenging experiences to go through. Any time the loss of a loved one occurs, the range of emotions that result from it can be overwhelming. But these emotions are often even more troubling whenever an often preventable wrongful death takes place. When a member of your family dies, their death can profoundly affect the surviving family members. On top of grief, losing a loved one can lead to financial difficulties. No amount of compensation could ever replace a family member you have lost in an accident.

While the definition of wrongful death varies from state to state, all of the same cases qualify as wrongful death lawsuits. Typically, any death resulting from another person or entity’s negligence qualifies as wrongful death.
Death due to negligence comes in many different forms. Usually, it’s the result of an accidental loss of life. This doesn’t mean that every accidental death ends up as a wrongful death claim. Moreover, these accidents must have occurred as the result of carelessness, recklessness, or the malicious acts of another person.
Courts use the legal standard of negligence for wrongful death claims. However, intentional acts might also result in a wrongful death lawsuit. This is true regardless of whether or the underlying act was an intentional crime.
