What is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death claim is viable when a person has died due to the negligence of another entity, agency, or individual that held a level of responsibility for their safety and care. Such claims have been filed against employers when death occurs in the workplace or while conducting work-related activities. Additionally, doctors, hospitals and medical care facilities are pursued when a loved one wrongfully dies in their care.
