What Do You Have to Prove in a Wrongful Death Case?

Not every accidental death will be deemed a wrongful one. For instance, if a person is in a vehicle crash caused by inclement weather, no one is really to blame for that unless there were other factors involved.

So how do you know if your loved one’s death qualifies as a wrongful death? To recover compensation in a wrongful death case, you will need to prove that your loved one’s death was caused by someone else’s negligent, reckless, or willful acts or omissions.

In a wrongful death claim based on negligence, you will need to prove four elements:

  • The at-fault party owed your family member a duty of care.
  • The at-fault party committed an act or omission that breached the duty of care.
  • This breach of the duty of care constituted the direct and proximate cause of your loved one’s death. In other words, there were no other intervening causes of your loved one’s death.
  • You and your family suffered damages that you can be compensated for.

If arguing that the other party recklessly caused your loved one’s death, you must prove the party consciously disregarded a substantial risk that his/her/its acts and/or omissions would result in serious bodily injury or death. For example, if someone caused your loved one’s death in a car accident while street racing, that could be considered reckless.

If arguing that someone willfully caused your family member’s death, you must show that party intended, through actions or omissions, for your loved one to suffer serious bodily injury or death, such as if your loved one was assaulted with a deadly weapon.
