The person that can file a wrongful death suit is generally a family member of the person that has been wrongfully killed or wrongfully died. It could be an attorney, it could be somebody else, but generally, it’s a family member that was close to the person who’s passed away. Wrongful death suits are very traumatic, obviously, because somebody has lost their life. You’re bringing a claim against the person or entity that has caused the death. So you really want someone that’s got some financial experience, but also knows the family and the person that has died very well. We at D’Amore Law Group handle many wrongful death cases on behalf of families.
