The death of a loved one whether expected or unexpected is a tragic event one which changes and shapes the lives of the family members left behind. Worse yet is a death caused by another party's negligence or lack of care. Nothing will ever bring the person back but the negligent party should be held responsible for their actions. 

Many companies will take advantage of the grieving process looking for quick settlements to limit their liability in the situation. The families of the victims have legal rights which should be considered and explored. 

Wrongful death is the taking of a life of an individual resulting from the willful or negligent act of another person or persons. If a person is killed because of the wrongful conduct of a person or persons, the decedent's heirs and other beneficiaries may file a wrongful death action against those responsible for the decedent's death. 

Action for wrongful death may be brought for either an intention or unintentional act that causes an injury that results in death. 

Their is a statue of limitation which varies from state to state.
