Can I file a wrongful death claim if the defendant wasn’t criminally charged?


Yes. Criminal prosecution is not necessary to file a civil wrongful death claim for damages. 

Reach out to an attorney as soon as possible after the fatal incident. The team at CPY Law can assess the situation and determine the best path forward in the fight ahead.
