What is the difference between a civil wrongful death claim and a criminal wrongful death case? That is the topic that was discussed last week on StateLawTV when Gregg Anderson of the Law Offices of Terry Bryant appeared as a guest.
According to Gregg, the big difference is that a civil claim is brought by a private citizen or individual against another person or corporation that has caused the death of a loved one. On the other hand a criminal wrongful death case is what we think of as a murder case where the state tries to put a person in jail for killing someone.
