Can you file a lawsuit for a wrongful death?

Every loss is unique, but depending on the circumstances of your loved one’s passing, you may be able to file suit against those responsible. In West Virginia, the executor of a will or the administrator of an estate can file a lawsuit on behalf of the estate in many situations. Family members and dependents may be entitled to compensation.

Auto accidents Truck collisions Motorcycle crashes Medical malpractice
