Looking into the Wrongful Death of a Loved One
April 2025
The loss of a loved one is a devastating experience. The experience is only made worse if the loss is due to the negligence, recklessness or intentional act of another person or party. It may seem at the time of the loss that there is no way to obtain justice. However, under Wisconsin law you have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death claim is a complex legal cause of action. In order to pursue such a claim, you should contact an experienced personal injury attorney. An attorney will investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of a loved one to see if a viable claim exists that can be pursued.
A wrongful death is defined a fatality caused by another party's wrongful act, neglect or default. If they deceased could have filed a personal injury suit had they survived, their family or estate can pursure a wrongful death claim instead.
