Wrongful death describes an event where negligence or wrongdoing results in an untimely death.

How A Wrongful Death Attorney Resolves Your Claim
In many cases, wrongful death claims find resolutions without the need for full court action. The plaintiff and the defendant- or more likely the insurer of the defendant who caused the death- will negotiate an out-of-court settlement. Upon acceptance of a settlement, the case will be resolved permanently. It is important, for this reason, to speak with an attorney before you sign any settlement paperwork. If no settlement is reached, then the case will be decided by a jury and the plaintiff will need to prove how the death occurred and the extent of losses and damages.
