When a person dies due to the intentional or negligent act of another, a wrongful death claim exists. Surviving loved ones are responsible for bringing wrongful death claims to light. Certainly no amount of money can compensate a family for the loss of their loved one, however, this is the only available legal remedy for such a terrible event. When a wrongful death claim is brought, there are essentially two actions:

• Wrongful Death Claim: For the full value of the deceased’s life
• A survivor Action: For the deceased’s pain and suffering
