Losing a loved one in an accident is devastating whether you’re the parent, spouse, child or extended family. Our clients often ask if they can file a wrongful death claim after the loss of a family member, and the answer depends entirely on the circumstance. If your adult child was killed in an accident, you can file a claim as long as they were not married and didn’t have a partner or children. If they did have dependents, then the spouse, partner or child would need to file the wrongful death suit.
