What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?
South Carolina law allows certain surviving family members to file a wrongful death lawsuit when a person dies due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another. These claims are typically brought by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate, often on behalf of:
- A surviving spouse or children
- Parents (if no spouse or children exist)
- Other legal heirs in some cases
Wrongful death claims are civil in nature and are separate from any criminal charges that may arise from the incident.
