Anybody can be sued for wrongful death. Many people are sued for wrongful death even if they have no culpability in the event. It all depends on the desire of the family of the person who died.

One might need an aviation attorney if they were in an accident (or caused an accident) in an aircraft.

I would like to hear the answer to this question too. My husband met with an accident and the police gave the other driver a ticket and he was at fault without doubt. The insurance company is not settling the claim saying we have to share the liability. They are not paying for a rental also. Please advise.
