A wrongful death lawsuit is a civil lawsuit in which the survivors of an individual who has been killed as a result of someone else’s negligence or misconduct sue for compensation for their grief and financial hardship. The lawsuit is typically filed against the person, business or other entity that is believed to be responsible for the death.

A wrongful death action may arise from an accidental death such as a car crash or a malicious act such as a violent assault.

Sometimes, a death may result in both criminal charges and a wrongful death lawsuit being filed. For example, a drunk driver who causes a fatal accident may be charged with vehicular homicide and also be sued by the family of the person killed. The criminal charges and civil lawsuit proceed separately. A criminal prosecution is intended to punish a wrongdoer and is brought by the police and government prosecutors.  A wrongful death lawsuit is a separate civil action filed by the survivors to obtain monetary compensation.

To collect compensation for a wrongful death, the individual or group of individuals filing the civil lawsuit must show that a loved one’s death was caused by the negligence, disregard for safety or intentional act of another person or entity.
