If a loved one has died as a result of negligence, you can file a wrongful death lawsuit and receive compensation for your loss. In addition, it can be possible to file criminal charges against the responsible party in some cases. Here’s what you need to know about filing wrongful death suits and/or pressing charges:

2. Consider the options available to you
In order to file a wrongful death suit, you need to first make sure that you’ll have a case against the defendant. This will involve gathering the documents that you need to prove that the incident occurred and was caused by negligence. A skilled lawyer will be able to help you to do this quickly and effectively.
In addition, you’ll need to understand what negligence is. A negligent action is any unreasonable action or the omission of an action that a reasonable person would take in any given situation. Violations of the law are always considered acts of negligence, but negligence includes other situations as well.
3. Know how the process works
You’ll need to decide whether you want to file a civil case and/or a criminal one. Criminal cases need to be proven in court beyond a reasonable doubt in order for the prosecution to be successful. This requires a very high level of evidence against the defendant, which typically needs to include both eyewitness testimony and physical evidence of the crime.
However, a civil case does not require you to prove your case beyond a reasonable doubt. All you need to do is prove that your case is more likely than what’s presented by the defendant. Furthermore, it is possible to receive compensation following a successful civil case but not after a successful criminal case.
