When a person dies as a result of a wrongful act, either by another person or an entity, it is considered to be a wrongful death. These wrongful acts can be categorized as medical malpractice, unsafe driving leading to a car accident, and homicide.
Wrongful death lawsuits can recover the expenses associated with the actual death, along with other costs, such as loss of salary, benefits, pain and suffering, and/or other emotional injury that adds to the grief a family is undergoing.
