Can i file a wrongful death claim against a drunk driver who caused an accident that killed my loved one?
Yes, you are able to file a wrongful death claim against the drunk driver who causes an accident, killing a loved one. Wrongful death is the legal cause of action against someone for bringing about the death of a person through a wrongful act or negligence. The decedents of the person (any living relatives, their surviving children, spouse, or parents) can assert a wrongful death claim.
