Wrongful Death:

Wrongful Death Lawsuits: Two separate and distinct causes of action arise when injuries caused by a wrongful or negligent act results in death.

One of these causes of action centers around the damages caused to the decedent and to his or her estate as a result of the injuries. The damages in this cause of action are usually limited to the damages the decedent could have recovered if he or she had lived.

A second cause of action exists on behalf of a surviving spouse, child or parent under a wrongful death action. The damages could include the loss of income from the decedent, loss of consortium, mental anguish and more.
