A death caused by a negligent, careless, intentional or reckless act of another person or corporation is called a wrongful death. In most states, if the death of a relative was caused by the wrongful act of another, surviving family members have the right to recover money damages for the death.

The award of damages can depend upon the earnings the deceased person made. Other factors to consider are whether or not surviving family members were dependent upon this income for support. Also to be considered is the loss of companionship and loss of love and affection of spouse and children.
