Wrongful Death
Wrongful death suits are very common in civil courts. Anytime a person is fatally injured due to the negligence or maleficence of another individual, the family members of the victim can file suit against the guilty party for wrongful death.

Those eligible for suing on behalf of the decease include:
- The spouse
- The common law partner
- The parents

Damages recoverable by the victim's dependents:
