Definition of wrongful death action
A wrongful death action is a type of lawsuit that can be filed against someone who is responsible for causing the death of another person. This type of lawsuit is typically brought by the surviving family members of the deceased person.
Examples of situations that may lead to a wrongful death action include:
- A car accident caused by a driver who was texting while driving
- A medical malpractice case where a doctor's negligence led to a patient's death
- A workplace accident caused by an employer's failure to provide proper safety equipment or training
In each of these examples, someone's death was caused by the actions or negligence of another person or entity. The surviving family members may be able to file a wrongful death action to seek compensation for their loss.

Simple Definition
A wrongful death action is when someone can be held responsible for causing someone else's death. This can happen if someone did something wrong that led to the death, like in a car accident or medical malpractice. In the past, only close family members could bring a wrongful death claim, but now the law has changed to allow others to bring a claim as well.
