Wrongful Death Settlement

is an American tort law action that claims damages from any person who, through negligence or direct act or omission, caused the Wrongful Death of certain relatives. These actions are commenced under special "Wrongful Death Settlement" statutes because under the common law, there is no right of action for survivors for their own loss as a result of Wrongful Death.

If you have lost a relative due to actions of another individual you may wish to contact an Attorney to learn if a Wrongful Death Settlement is appropriate for your situation.
