If there was negligence on the part of that person, then, yes, you would want to look into a claim for wrongful death. I recommend that you arrange a consultation before making any claims or discussing the matter with an insurance adjuster or other party. While it is assumed this happened recently, be aware that there are limitation periods on filing claims. The sooner you act, the better.
