What is a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

Chicago – A wrongful death lawsuit claims that the victim was killed as a result of negligence (or other type of unjust action) on the part of the person or entity being sued, and that the victim’s survivors are entitled to monetary damages as a result of the improper conduct. The wrongful act may be a negligent or careless act such as careless driving, a reckless act or an intentional act such as a deliberate murder.

Almost every state has enacted a statute permitting a lawsuit to be brought by the relatives of a person who died as a result of a wrongful act. Attorneys at Romanucci & Blandin, LLC, can help you determine if you have a case.
