Wrongful Death : A Wrongful death is an American tort law action which claims damages from any person who, through negligence or direct act or omission, caused the wrongful death. These actions are commenced under special "wrongful death settlement " statutes because under the common law, there is no right of action for survivors for their own loss as a result of wrongful death.
