Idaho Wrongful Death Attorney

A "wrongful death" lawsuit is brought by surviving family based on the allegation that negligence or a reckless act resulted in the death of their loved one. The surviving dependents or beneficiaries may seek compensation for damages caused by their loss. Laws covering wrongful death didn't exist under "common law," the system of laws passed down through the centuries from England to the United States. The consideration was that the claim for damages died with the victim. However, individual states have passed wrongful death statutes over the years, and while unique from state to state, all states currently have some form of wrongful death statute or statutes.
