Overview

In order to be awarded compensation, the families of wrongful death victims must prove that the death was the result of another person or party's negligence, malicious behavior or malpractice. If the plaintiff cannot show proof of fault, compensation will not be awarded.

A party who files a wrongful death claim seeking financial damages from the responsible group or individual must prove that certain elements are true in their case to win in court. Successful parties must prove that the responsible party had a duty to act in a certain way, failed to act according to that duty, and in doing so, injured another party, causing damages resulting in death.
