Wrongful Death Accident 
Wrongful death is the taking  of a human life  as the result of a wrongful act of another person. Such wrongful acts include negligence like careless driving, an intentional attack such as assault and/or battery, a death in the course of another crime, vehicular manslaughter, manslaughter or murder. 

Wrongful death is the basis for a lawsuit or wrongful death action against the party or parties who caused the death filed on behalf of the members of the family who have lost the company and support of the deceased. Thus, a child might be entitled to compensation for the personal loss of a father as well as the amount of financial support the child would have received from the now-dead parent while a minor. Or a wife would recover damages for loss of her husband's love and companionship and a lifetime of expected support, while a parent would be limited to damages for loss of companionship but not support.
