About Wrongful Death
Wrongful death is not considered a type of criminal homicide, but rather personal injury. In a wrongful death case, the liable party must have a duty of care to the deceased individual and must have breached that duty by acting recklessly or negligently in a way that resulted in death, even the death of a stranger.
