WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT

WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT 150 150 Dan Frith

Has an awful ring doesn’t it “wrongful death?”

If someone loses their life because of someone else’s negligence, you can file suit against that person alleging “wrongful death” in civil court. They won’t go to jail, but they may be forced to pay for your pain and suffering which occurred as a result of losing that loved one.

Stated simply, you are alleging that your loved one would be alive, but for their mistake, negligence, act, etc.

So who can file a wrongful death claim? Under Virginia law, only the Administrator or Executor of the Estate of the person who died.

Well, how do you become the Administrator or Executor? What does that mean?
