Who Is Entitled to File a Wrongful Death Claim in Mississippi?

Under Miss. Code Ann. § 11-7-13, certain family members have the right to bring a wrongful death lawsuit. This includes:

      • The surviving spouse
      • Children of the deceased
      • Parents (if no spouse or children)
      • Siblings (if no spouse, children, or parents)
      • The personal representative of the estate

The law allows these family members to bring one combined action on behalf of all beneficiaries. This ensures that everyone with a legal right to compensation is included.

Wrongful death can arise from many types of negligence. Depending on the circumstances, responsible parties may include:

As a wrongful death attorney with decades of experience, I investigate thoroughly to identify all potentially liable parties and hold them accountable.

      • Funeral and burial costs
      • Loss of companionship, society, and guidance
      • Emotional pain and suffering
      • The deceased’s pain and suffering prior to death
