A wrongful death lawsuit typically involves a wrongful act that causes death. A “wrongful act” may include a crime, an intentional or reckless act, or negligence. The death of a loved one is always a tragedy. Wrongful death lawsuits allow the victim’s survivors—usually the victim’s parents, spouse or children—to be compensated for the loss of a loved one.
