What every family needs to know about wrongful death claims: When someone dies as the result of an accident, family members must make many decisions, and a wrongful death claim often needs to be filed. Often a claim can be filed only by certain family members, and there are strict requirements and deadlines that must be met. It is critically important to speak with a wrongful death attorney to get information on a victim’s rights and options.
