Wrongful death lawsuits allege that the death of a loved one occurred as a direct result of someone's negligence or other wrongful conduct. Wrongful death suits aim to hold the defendant accountable for the victim's death.

Although monetary compensation can't erase the pain and injustice caused by the death of your loved one, it can help the family cover the costs associated with death and provide for the future.
