Who Can Bring a Claim or Lawsuit for Wrongful Death in Utah?
The heir, heirs or personal representative of the decedent may maintain a claim for wrongful death. However, the claim is made by and on behalf of all heirs. Additionally, the person bringing the claim is considered a 'representative' of all the potential claimants. For wrongful death claims, heirs include spouse, children and parents (mother or father) under Utah law. Failure to properly pursue the claim can result in liability and, if you are considering a wrongful death lawsuit, it would be good to consult with an experienced Utah wrongful death lawyer.
