Wrongful death lawsuits arise out of the negligence or unjust act of an entity or the unjust act of a person that resulted in the death of an individual. In wrongful death cases the victim's survivors are entitled to a monetary gain. The victim's survivors usually consist of a spouse, children, beneficiaries, or even dependents.
In order for the surviving family members to bring a claim against the person who caused the victim's death, they are required to show that
1. The decedent has left behind a spouse, children, dependants or
beneficiaries and
2. The death was caused, in whole or in part, by the conduct of the
defendant,
3. The defendant acted negligence or is strictly liable for the victims
death and
4. The dependants are suffering from monetary damages as a result
of his death.
