What is a wrongful death case?

A:

This is a term commonly used in the legal and insurance fields, but not in common use by most of us. Whenever someone dies as the result of negligence, the death was avoidable and “wrongful”. That death may be the result of a car wreck, motorcycle wreck, tractor-trailer collision, a defective product/drug, or any other negligent act. When someone dies due to the negligence of a company or individual, the surviving family members can make a legal claim for the loss of their loved one (a “wrongful death” claim).
