A wrongful death lawsuit is filed by the surviving relatives or heirs of an individual who died in a fatal accident, or because of medical malpractice, or for other reasons. The suit is against the person or company whose conduct led to the wrongful death. Wrongful death cases can result from any type of situation, including:

• Medical malpractice.
• Car, truck, motorcycle or other vehicle accidents.
• Work place injuries.
• Product liability.

Each state has different requirements as to who can pursue a wrongful death settlement. There are also time limits for pursuing these claims. If you believe that you may be the proper party to a wrongful death case, we recommend that you seek the help of an attorney as soon as possible.
