Question:
Who Can File a Claim for a Wrongful Death?Answer:
One of the questions we sometimes receive is, who can pursue a wrongful death case? What family member typically can pursue a wrongful death case? The truth of the matter is, any duly appointed or properly appointed executor of the estate, who believes that there’s been a wrongful death, can pursue a wrongful death case. In reality, we mostly see it being brought by the spouse; that’s usually the first person that will bring a wrongful death case.
The second group of people we normally see bring a wrongful death case are the children of the decedent, of the person that’s passed away; we’ll see those children bring a case. Sometimes it can be a sibling; a brother or sister may bring a wrongful death case if they think that their brother or sister was inadvertently or negligently killed. Sometimes, not as often but rarely, we’ll see a parent who will also possibly have the right to bring a wrongful death case for the death of one of their children.
