Question: Wrongful Death - Accidental Death - Wyoming

Asked on 10/13/2009
wrongful death suit?
My friends husband was paralyzed by a gunshot wound. The person who shot him was convicted of "attempted discharge of a firearm at an occupied vehicle causing possible bodily harm". Her husband has passed away and the coroners report lists the cause of death as homicide as a result of the gunshot wound. Could the shooter be charged with homicide? Would this fall under the wrongful death law in Kansas? Thanks, Jamie

I practice in California.  I do believe the shooter can now be charged with homicide.  Contact the DA's office and inquire.  Wrongful death is a civil suit and, yes, your friend can sue the shooter for wrongful death in civil court.
