Wrongful death is a death caused by wrongful act or from carelessness of another person or entity. A wrongful death legal case claims that the injured party was killed as a result of wrongful act or negligence on the part of the individual or entity being sued, and that the victims survivors are entitled to monetary damages as a result of the wrongful act or negligence. States have enacted wrongful death laws providing compensation to the heirs or relatives of the injured party as an incentive to act carefully and safely. All states have wrongful death statutes. In most states, a lawsuit for wrongful death should be brought within two years from the date of death or within two years from the date the cause of death is known. State wrongful death laws are independent of each other. However they follow the same basic principles:
the death was caused, in whole or part, by the conduct of the defendant;
the defendant was negligent or strictly liable for the injured partys death;
there is a surviving spouse, children, beneficiaries or dependents; and
monetary damages have resulted from the injured partys death.

A wrongful death will be the basis for a civil case for damages on behalf of the dead persons family or heirs. It is a claim against someone who can be held liable for the death.
