A death caused by a negligent, careless, intentional or reckless act of another person or corporation is considered a wrongful death. In New Mexico and most states, if the death of a relative or spouse was caused by the wrongful act of another, surviving family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent party or parties. The laws regarding wrongful death cases are complex.
It is vital to surviving family members to seek the advice of an experienced wrongful death lawyer to protect their rights and those of their loved ones. Time is of the essence - protect your rights.
