Wrongful death occurs when the negligence of another causes the death of an individual. Wrongful death can occur as a result of an automobile accident, an unsafe product, medical malpractice, unsafe premises and other situations where a person’s negligence causes fatal injuries. Wrongful death claims specifically provide compensation to the dependents of the deceased for the economic losses suffered as a result of the death, which are determined by the family status of the victim, the annual income being made, the number of individuals financially dependent on the individual, and the age of the victim. In addition to provable economic losses that the victim’s dependents will suffer, damages for the pain and suffering of the injured individual prior to death are recoverable.
