Wrongful death is a special type of personal injury lawsuit that allows people to pursue damages due to the death of another person.  These types of suits differ from criminal actions in that defendants do not usually have the same protections against self incrimination or the right to refuse to give testimony.

The requirements for wrongful death are also not as stringent as a criminal court.  Where a criminal court needs clear and convincing proof of wrongdoing, a wrongful death suit merely needs a preponderance of evidence.  Those who bring the suit can sometimes increase their settlements if they can demonstrate they suffered loss because of the death.
