When a person dies due to the negligence of someone else, a wrongful death claim results. The rules for wrongful death insurance claims and wrongful death lawsuits are generally the same as for claims and lawsuits resulting from nonfatal injuries. There are, however, at least two important factors that are different: 1) If the deceased did not die immediately, then compensation for certain damages sustained by the deceased may be pursued by his/her estate, and 2) it must be determined which of the deceased person’s surviving relatives are entitled to receive compensation by way of a wrongful death claim or lawsuit.
