Wrongful death is a special kind of civil suit where the victim's family members sue the party responsible for the victim's death. It is a kind of civil case that a person, or organization files against another. It usually aims to compensate the aggrieved family for the monetary impact of the victim's similar death. Emotional stress is always devastating when someone you love dies, whether it is from an avoidable disease or a car accident. Death is often the result of another's negligence or intentional, which can heighten the emotions. In many cases, there is a need for the family to file a civil action against the accused. A wrongful death claim in Wisconsin is initiated by the personal representative of the estate on behalf of the deceased person's survivors. Survivors may include the deceased person's parents, spouse or domestic partner, and children. The wrongful death claim may be initiated by the personal representative of the deceased person's (decedent) estate if it is justified. The lawsuit is generally a request for payment for the economic and noneconomic loss from the decedent. The death of a loved one may result in loss, and burdens not easy to meet particularly the financial aspect of it. Many people do not wish to file a wrongful death claim, but it is sometimes necessary.
