Can a parent or guardian be the wrongful death beneficiary of his or her adult child in Alabama or Nebraska if that child has no wife or children?

In Alabama, the parent would not be considered a wrongful death beneficiary of the adult child if there are no surviving spouse or children. In Nebraska, however, the parent could potentially be considered a wrongful death beneficiary if there are no surviving spouse or children. Each state has its own specific laws governing wrongful death claims.
