Car Accidents and Wrongful Death
After an individual passes away due to the negligence of another person, the family members left behind may bring a wrongful death suit on their behalf. There are specific family members who are authorized to bring wrongful death suits. These people include…
- Spouses
- Children
- Parents
These family members may bring one suit or individual suits for the wrongful death of their loved one. In order for them to bring one single claim, there must not be a conflict of interest between the parties.
