What is Wrongful Death in Alabama?

A “wrongful death” occurs when a person dies due to the negligent, careless, reckless, intentional act, or an omission of another person or entity. The Alabama Wrongful Death Statute is found at Alabama Code Section 6-5-410. Wrongful death claims may arise out of car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, property negligence, and other incidents of negligence. In Alabama, the decedent’s immediate family members (surviving spouses and children, and sometimes parents or siblings) may bring a lawsuit or action. Alabama wrongful death law is unique in that it does not allow for compensatory damages to be awarded to the family of the decedent. Only punitive damages can be awarded.
