If a person dies as a result of the negligent or wrongful conduct of another, that person’s family and other beneficiaries may have a wrongful death action against those responsible for causing the death. The idea behind a wrongful death case is to compensate those who depended upon a decedent for financial and/or emotional support. Wrongful death cases can arise from simple negligence, car accidents, motorcycle accidents, drunk or impaired driving accidents, or any negligent conduct that results in the death of a person. In a wrongful death case, the decedent can sue for medical bills and funeral expenses, but because the survivors of the decedent have been injured as well, damages could be an amount determined by consideration of what the decedent may have offered in the future (lost future earnings for example) as well as pain and suffering inflicted upon the decedent and survivors.
