Eligible Plaintiffs in a Fatal Accident Claim

Under state law, not every person affected by a loved one's death can file a lawsuit. Only certain parties have the right to bring wrongful death actions. Generally, within the first six months of a death, the personal representative of the deceased's estate can file suit on behalf of the decedent's:

• Spouse
• Minor children
• Adult dependent children
• Parents

After the first six months, any of those parties can file suit. Our knowledgeable lawyers can determine whether you are eligible to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit and help you proceed with a claim.
