Who Can File A Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

In both Missouri and Illinois, there are strict rules on who can file a wrongful death lawsuit.  In Missouri, there are three classes of eligible individuals.  Class 1 includes parents, spouses and children.  If there is no one in this class, then individuals in Class 2 are eligible.  Class 2 includes siblings and descendants.  If there is no one in Class 2, then the court can appoint a Plaintiff Ad Litem to prosecute the case.

Illinois has a similar system.  Essentially, the next of kin is eligible to file a wrongful death case.  In the first instance, this includes spouses and children.  If there are none, then parents can file, then followed by siblings.
