What Is A Wrongful Death?
When death is caused by the negligence of another, that death is considered wrongful. Even if the negligent person was not charged with a crime, he or she may still be held accountable in civil court for damages suffered by the family such as:
​
-
Medical expenses incurred prior to death
-
Funeral expenses
-
Loss of financial support
-
Loss of personal services
-
Emotional grief caused by the loss
-
Loss of parental guidance for a child
