What Is a Wrongful Death Action?
A wrongful death lawsuit allows you to pursue justice for your family member after a fatal accident. An extension of personal injury law, this is a civil suit that family members can bring for a wide range of accidents.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
North Carolina only allows a personal representative of the deceased to file a wrongful death claim. Your family member may have selected a personal representative and conveyed this information in a will or another legal document.
If your loved one did not select a personal representative, the court can assign someone to this role.
