If you lost a family member in a car accident due to the negligent actions of another person, you may seek justice and compensation by filing a wrongful death claim.
A wrongful death claim is a civil legal claim that seeks to find who was responsible for the wrongful death and give an order to pay damages to mitigate the effects of the death. The defendant in a wrongful death claim will not face criminal penalties but may be compelled to pay financial compensation for medical bills, funeral expenses, pain and suffering of the decedent, loss of companionship or consortium, punitive damages, among other damages.
