Wrongful Death
If you have lost a person of significant value to you due to the misdeeds or negligence of another person, you may have the right to claim financial damages from a defendant. Close family members make most wrongful death claims, but other people may have valid wrongful death claims (e.g. business partners). Wrongful death claims may compensate you for loss of income, loss of services (e.g. child care), and/or emotional damages. Note, that criminal cases do not dictate the outcome of separate wrongful death suits. Just because a person was not convicted criminally ("beyond a reasonable doubt") does not mean that same person would not be found liable in a civil wrongful death suit ("according to the preponderance of the evidence").
