When a victim is killed as a result of someone else’s carelessness, it is known as a wrongful death. The surviving family members may be able to file a wrongful death claim following a fatal vehicle collision. These claims share many similarities with personal injury claims, but they also have significant differences. Wrongful death claims are intended to help the plaintiff obtain compensation for losses on behalf of the deceased after a fatal accident.
