Who may file the claim

Victims and families in wrongful death cases have legal rights

The courts have established guidelines for determining who has the right to file a wrongful death claim and in what circumstances. Of course, every case—including yours—will have its own unique events and details. Some general outlines of the review process are listed below. For more information, contact the Law Offices of James Morris today.

Monetary damages:

  • The family can show that the death had a direct monetary effect on them.
  • The accident would have resulted in monetary damages for the victim, had he or she survived.

Negligence or intent:

  • The death was the direct result of another's negligence.
  • The death was the direct result of a wrongful act with the intent to cause harm.
