Is life insurance concered in a wrongful death civil lawsuite?
You seem to be asking whether the payment of life insurance proceeds is triggered by death resulting from an occurrence that is the basis of a wrongful death suit. If that is your question, the broad answer is yes. Unless excluded or limited by the exclusions or limitations of the policy (which is a contract between the insurer and the insured), the actions of a third party that results in the death of the insured are largely irrelevant. Among the exceptions to this might be, for example, if the third party, at the request of the insured, participated in causing the insured's death. If this occurred during the period of contestibility of the policy (often, 2 years from the date of policy issuance), the participating party may be prosecuted (criminally) or sued (in civil court) for wrongful death, and policy benefits may be denied the beneficiaries due to the suicide.
