When someone dies as a result of another person's negligence, the decedent's survivors (as defined by statute) may bring a claim for wrongful death. The important considerations in a wrongful death claim include: the cause of death, the party responsible for the fatality, and the parties who are entitled to make a claim for the death.
Based on rights granted in wrongful death statutes, recovery for damages such as love, affection, friendship support and services for the duration of the decedent’s life expectancy may be allowed. The estate may recover medical and funeral bills, as well as the future value of the net accumulations that the deceased would have gotten if the death had not occurred.
