Re: law sue

The husband could sue for damages for loss of consortium and for wrongful death. (Consortium is defined as the "conjugal fellowship" between a married couple, and the "right of each" spouse to the company and assistance and cooperation of the other spouse.)

Others of your family members may also have a case for recovering damages for wrongful death.
