If you have had a loved one killed in an accident resulting from the negligence of another there are legal remedies to seek that can compensate you and your family for the wrongful death that has occurred in your family. The definition of "wrongful death" is "a death caused by a wrongful act, neglect or default of another."

A monetary value is also placed for the spouse, father or mother that would have otherwise been home and performed the basic household activities such as cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing. Separate from The Act, one may seek additional damages to compensate for the emotional trauma the family has had to endure.
