What is a wrongful death claim?

I have lost a loved one in a wrongful death accident and have been advised to file a wrongful death claim. What is a wrongful death claim and how does it work?

A wrongful death claim is a type of personal injury lawsuit that is brought against an individual or a party for causing someone's death either negligently or intentionally. A wrongful death claim is usually filed by a representative of the deceased, on behalf of surviving family members and other affected parties, against the party legally liable for the death.

A wrongful death claim is applicable when a victim who would otherwise have a personal injury claim is killed as a result of the negligent or harmful action(s) of somebody else.
