A wrongful death lawsuit alleges that the deceased person was killed as a
result of the negligence or fault of the
defendant - often an employer who did not provide adequate safety precautions or equipment. The lawsuit seeks to prove that any surviving dependents or beneficiaries are
entitled to damages as a result of the defendant's conduct. This can result in very large settlements such as the J and Rev. D.S.W case in Chicago where a $100 Million dollar out of court settlement was reached.
