The loss of a loved one is a very difficult moment in any person’s life; surviving family members must continue living with the burden of severe emotional pain and significant financial loss. There are ways to get compensated for a loved one’s death; this is especially true if the death is caused by another person or entity’s negligence. This is where a wrongful death lawsuit comes in. A wrongful death lawsuit is a claim for monetary compensation, also called “damages”, from a party whose carelessness resulted in another.
