If every state has a wrongful death statute, are they all the same?

Although every state does have a wrongful death statute, they are not all the same. There are numerous differences across the board.

In fact, should someone seek to bring a wrongful death action, it is vitally important to figure out in which state they should file the case. This is because some states do not allow certain kinds of damage awards and may also have a different statute of limitations relating to when one must file a lawsuit.
