Do you have a loved one that suffered a wrongful death? If so, you might be wondering who can file a wrongful death claim. Wrongful death claims can be filed by close family members that are in the deceased’s line of inheritance, including:
- The deceased’s surviving husband or wife
- The deceased’s registered domestic partner
- The deceased’s children
- The deceased’s stepchildren who were dependent on the deceased
- The deceased’s parents who were dependent on the deceased
Other individuals not listed above may be able to file a wrongful death suit as well. Contact a personal injury attorney to discuss your options.
