A wrongful death can be a traumatic experience for the family of the person who tragically lost their life. Wrongful death is any death that was directly or indirectly caused by another's negligence, willful conduct or indifference to the safety of others. In some wrongful death cases, the victim dies immediately, as in a fatal auto, truck or motorcycle accident. Others may die weeks, months or years after the accident because of ongoing medical problems or illness.
