Why does the family have the right to file a wrongful death claim? Why should they file a wrongful death claim?

• No amount of money can change the fact of a wrongful death. Financial compensation can, however, help the family cover economic losses because of lost wages and lost economic potential.
• A wrongful death lawsuit sends a message that carelessness and negligence are not excuses for putting another person's safety and life at risk. There are consequences for causing a fatal drunk driving accident, a fatal work accident, a fatal truck accident, or a fatal medical mistake.
