Understanding Wrongful Death in Missouri
In Missouri, a wrongful death claim can be filed when a person’s death is caused by the wrongful act, neglect, carelessness, unskillfulness, or default of another. These claims are intended to provide compensation to the deceased’s surviving family members for their losses, including lost income, funeral expenses, and emotional suffering.

Under Missouri law, the following individuals are eligible to file a wrongful death claim:
- Spouse: The surviving spouse of the deceased.
- Children: The surviving children of the deceased, including adopted children.
- Parents: The surviving parents of the deceased.
- Siblings: If there are no surviving spouses, children, or parents, the siblings of the deceased may file a claim.
- Personal Representative: If none of these individuals file a claim within a specific period, the personal representative of the deceased’s estate may file the claim.
