Yes bc every business carries the same risks causing untimely death to others. We aren't talking about suing any random innocent business for no reason....we are talking about a specific entities that caused the unjust death of someone

We already have statues that compensate families for wrongful death. It’s a horribly written law that would let random cousins, uncles, nephews sue without limitation. And would dramatically increase the costs of litigation for every lawsuit, no matter how frivolous. We’re suddenly going to monetize grief for extended family when someone dies? The only people that would get rich from this are plaintiff’s attorneys.

Who is asking for this exactly?

Not enough especially since the laws written over 100 yrs ago

>Who is asking for this exactly? victim who are kids and elderly for one since current financial compensation reflects on their earning potential...which they have none
