If a person is killed because of the wrongful conduct of another person or company, the decedent's heirs/ beneficiaries may file a wrongful death action against those responsible for the decedent's death. The individuals entitled to sue for wrongful death are listed in each state statute. Many statutes provide for recovery by a surviving spouse, next of kin or children. Ordinarily, children may bring suit for the wrongful death of their parents, and parents may sue for the death of a child.

Nursing home abuse can take many forms and is rarely reported because many victims are afraid to speak out.
