A wrongful death is a death caused by another's negligence, recklessness, malpractice, or inaction. If you believe a family member's death is the result of medical malpractic, you can file wrongful death personal injury lawsuits on your loved ones' behalf.

Wrongful Death Lawsuit Eligibility:
Immediate family members - including parents, spouses, and children - are almost always eligible to file a claim, although minors may need an adult guardian to take a wrongful death lawsuit to court. Additionally, other family members - such as stepparents, grandparents, and dependents - may also be permitted to file suit in some states.

You may obtain damages from your wrongful death lawsuit to cover the following:

• Lost benefits
• Lost inheritance
• Medical and funeral costs
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of support or companionship
• Lost wages, including future earnings
• General damages
• Punitive damages
• Mental anguish
