You can't bring back someone you've lost, but if your loved one has died because of someone else's intentional or negligent actions, you may be entitled to recover damages. Wrongful death suits include car accidents, medical malpractice, and criminal activity. You may be able to recover for financial losses and emotional suffering, but you need the help of an attorney with experience representing plaintiffs in wrongful death suits.

Consider the following:
