Who Can Sue?
In the case of wrongful death, the law is very
specific on who can sue. Typically the spouse,
domestic partner, children, or even grandchildren
(if the departed children are also deceased) can
sue. If there is no surviving person in the
deceased persons line of descent then others
may sue. This includes people who were entitled
to the property of the deceased, including
parents or siblings.

Damages Available
Damages are usually divided into the surviving
family members that endured loss or compensating
the estate for losses they suffered due to the
death. This includes the loss of anticipated
financial support, the loss of love, affection,
moral support, and guidance, as well as the value
of the household services.

Difference between Wrongful Death and Survival
Action
The wrongful death lawsuit must take place,
then the survival lawsuit allows for their
beneficiaries to sue on behalf of the departed
estate. A survival lawsuit is complicated but can
compensate based on losses for the injury that
caused the death, if the injury was for a period
of time, and also for claims unrelated to the
death that the deceased had a right to sue for as
of the date of death.
