Wrongful Death Lawsuits in Alabama
A wrongful death lawsuit is the official name for a legal action undertaken by the family of a person who suffers an untimely death due to the negligence or reckless actions of another person or business entity.
The official plaintiff in a wrongful death action is the personal representative of the deceased's estate, and any financial compensation recovered by the wrongful death lawsuit is distributed to the survivors of the deceased.
Alabama has a complicated wrongful death statute — different from the laws about wrongful death lawsuits in every other state. For that reason alone, it is important for family members to seek out an attorney with experience handling Alabama wrongful death cases if they believe they have valid cause to bring a wrongful death lawsuit following the death of a loved one.
