Losing a loved one suddenly and unexpectedly is one of life’s most devastating experiences. When someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing causes that loss, families often wonder about their legal options. It’s important to understand that a wrongful death claim and a criminal case are two very different paths, each serving a different purpose. 

The state or government brings a criminal case to punish the person responsible if their actions violated the law. This may involve charges such as reckless driving, manslaughter, or other offenses. The goal of a criminal case is to hold the wrongdoer accountable and potentially send them to jail. However, criminal cases do not provide compensation to the victim’s family. 

In contrast, a wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit filed by surviving family members seeking financial compensation for their loss. This compensation can cover medical bills, funeral costs, lost income, and emotional pain and suffering. The purpose here is not punishment, but to help families recover financially after tragedy.
