How Is a Wrongful Death Defined?

A wrongful death is one that is caused by another person’s neglect or misconduct. Simply put, their failure to act in a “reasonable manner” caused loss of life. 

A variety of circumstances may give rise to a wrongful death lawsuit in South Carolina, including the following:

Can I File a Lawsuit for a Family Member’s Death?

Although state laws vary slightly on who can sue for wrongful death, every state grants immediate family members this right. Spouses, adult children, or parents are eligible to receive benefits for a wrongful death claim.

The situation becomes more complicated if the deceased person left a will that names someone who is not an immediate family member as executor. In this case, a surviving family member may still file a wrongful death lawsuit.

Even if your case seems straightforward, it’s wise to have an experienced wrongful death lawyer on your side. Trust David Taylor Law to handle the legal matters so that you and your family can focus on healing. In addition to trusted legal guidance, we can recommend support groups or mental health professionals who can help.
