A wrongful death claim is a suit that arises from the death of an individual that was caused by the negligent, reckless, or malicious conduct of another.
A wrongful death suit is different from other types of personal injury claims because the victim (the "decedent") is not bringing suit; rather, it is the victim's family members or estate. As such, a wrongful death claim is brought to recover damages for the injuries that the surviving family and/or estate have suffered due to the death of the victim.
