Wrongful death actions are lawsuits brought on behalf of a deceased person's beneficiaries, alleging that death was attributable to the willful or negligent act of another. States across the country have their own wrongful death statutes, providing causes of action for the decedent's personal representative, for the benefit of certain beneficiaries, such as spouses, parents and children.

The circumstances leading to wrongful death are varied, and can include such incidents as drowning in pools, oceans or other bodies of water; car, aircraft and other transportation accidents; medical malpractice including negligent medical care and treatment by doctors and hospitals; gas and electrical explosions or fires; construction and workplace accidents; nursing home abuse; product liability involving defective consumer or commercial products; and injury related to recreational vehicles such as ATVs and boats.
