Understanding Wrongful Death
A wrongful death happens when someone dies because another person or company acted negligently, recklessly, or even intentionally. These cases can stem from car accidents, medical mistakes, unsafe workplaces, or defective products.
In North Carolina, only the personal representative of the deceased’s estate—often a close family member—can file a wrongful death claim on behalf of surviving relatives. The goal isn’t just to seek money, but to find justice and help families move forward.
