Grounds for a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

In order to pursue a wrongful death claim, it is necessary to show that the negligent or careless conduct of another person or entity caused or contributed to the death. These cases often arise as a result of automobile accidents, workplace accidents, or medical negligence.

If the death was caused by malice or intentional violence, a wrongful death lawsuit can also be brought against the responsible person(s). Lastly, a manufacturer or distributor of a defective or dangerous product that may have caused a loved one's death might be strictly liable.

Who can bring a wrongful death lawsuit?

In Missouri, a wrongful claim depends on a number of factors such as whether the victim was married or had children.  Generally, people who are closely related to the victim can file a claim, including:

• Spouse
• Parents
• Children
• Siblings
• A court-appointed guardian
