I will not criticize Larry, if ya’ll will not criticize Virgie for her efforts in trying to get legal standing for filing wrongful death claims against HK$ for her daughter and grandson.

Is it necessary for Virgie to have custody of partial custody of Dannielynn in order to bring a wrongful death claim against HKS?

Read my post #6156 for Florida Law on Wrongful Death Suits. With or without custody of Dannielynn odds are very long to be able to win anything there, best odds are the inquest in Bahamas,

“””Is it necessary for Virgie to have custody of partial custody of Dannielynn in order to bring a wrongful death claim against HKS?”””

Based on some good Florida research (ANS died in Florida) by Lizarde -As I understand it: the suit must be filed by any surviving child. If there is no surviving child, then a parent or sibling may file. The plaintiff has to prove financial loss as a result of the death...because the claim is primarily for remuneration - as well as pain and suffering. Custody is not necessary, but guardianship is vital in order for Virgie to file on behalf of Dannielynn.

If I am wrong in my interpretation - I am sure someone with legal expertise will jump in.
