Wrongful death occurs when an innocent individual is killed in an accident caused by someone else. For example, a negligent driver running a red light hits another vehicle head-on, killing the driver of that vehicle. As long as the individual who died was not responsible for the accident or death, it is wrongful death. This allows the surviving family members to file a claim.
The immediate family member or dependent of someone killed in an accident has a right to hold the liable party accountable. Accordingly, the State of Alaska Statutes provide guidance for these claims. Filing a claim helps compensate loss of income, funeral and burial expenses. Wrongful death claims also address loss of companionship, loss of consortium, pain, suffering, and more.
