Wrongful Death

In Missouri, when a life is lost due to another party’s negligence, carelessness, or intentional misconduct, the law provides two separate legal options for pursuing justice: a wrongful death claim and a survival action. At Goldblatt + Singer, we help families understand the distinction between these two paths, especially in complex cases involving wrongful death vs.

The death of a loved one is a devastating event, especially when it occurs due to someone else’s negligence or misconduct. In such tragic situations, Missouri law provides a means for survivors to seek justice through a wrongful death lawsuit. Understanding who can sue for wrongful death is crucial for holding the responsible parties accountable and helping the family of the deceased recover the compensation they deserve.
