WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PURSUING WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIMS
If a person loses their life because of the intentional actions or negligence of someone else, then it falls in the category of wrongful death. After the person passes away, their surviving family members can contact us at The Mignucci Firm to pursue a claim against the responsible party.
Some of the most common scenarios that lead to a wrongful death claim include:

Eligible family members include spouses, children (both biological and adopted), and parents of the deceased.
