There are several different phases in a wrongful death lawsuit. Not all wrongful death claims require the filing of a lawsuit in order to be fully compensated. In fact, in certain cases, an estate is better served by not filing a lawsuit, since it can be expensive and not always a necessary part of recovering the full value of an estate. In short, a lawsuit begins with notice to the responsible party or parties of a claim, and ends either with a trial, arbitration, or a settlement which occurs during one of the phases of a case.
