Who can file a wrongful death suit in Missouri?
The law regarding wrongful death suits is very specific. You may file if you are the decedent’s spouse, child (adopted or not), parent (adopted or not) or lineal descendant. However, if none of the previous relatives decide to file, siblings and their descendants can choose to file a wrongful death suit. Feel free to contact a St. Louis wrongful death lawyer at Cagle Law Firm if you have any questions about the possibility of a case.
