Wrongful death legal remedies can and are sought for avoidable injuries that result in wrongful death. Wrongful death lawsuits are governed by what is called Tort Law, which helps to define a) who is responsible for the wrongful death and b) defines what, if any, monetary limits there may be to any financial compensation the loves ones are due. Families may be entitled to file wrongful death lawsuit if a loved one has been killed because of the negligence of others. They may have a right to claim financial compensation for the deceased's medical bills, loss of wages, funeral expenses and in some cases considerable awards for emotional or psychological duress.
