Lord Campbell's Act

A quick definition of Lord Campbell's Act:

Lord Campbell's Act is a law made in England in 1846. It says that if someone dies because of someone else's mistake, the family of the person who died can ask for money. This is called a wrongful-death claim. Before this law, if someone died because of someone else's mistake, the family could not ask for money. This was not fair because it was cheaper for the person who made the mistake to let the person die instead of trying to help them. Lord Campbell's Act changed this and made it fairer for families who lost someone because of someone else's mistake.

A more thorough explanation:

Lord Campbell's Act is a law passed in England in 1846 that allows the relatives of a person who died due to someone else's negligence to sue for compensation. Before this law, if a person was injured due to someone else's fault and later died, their family could not sue for compensation. This law changed that and allowed the family to sue for compensation as if the person had been injured but not killed.

For example, if a person was hit by a car and injured, they could sue the driver for compensation. But if the person died due to their injuries, their family could not sue for compensation. Lord Campbell's Act changed that and allowed the family to sue for compensation as if the person had been injured but not killed.

This law was important because it gave families a way to seek justice and compensation for the loss of their loved ones. It also made it more expensive for people to be negligent and caused harm to others, as they could now be held accountable for the harm they caused.
