[Harry Potter] In the unlikely, but not implausible event that a magical incident indirectly resulted in the death of a Muggle does the Ministry have a policy of somehow compensating or showing a duty of care towards the family of the affected individual?

Whether the cause be an unfortunate case of a child's accidental magic or the deliberate act of a dark wizard what responsibility does the wizarding world acknowledge towards any Muggle "innocent bystanders" that are indirectly caught up and killed as consequence of wizard activities? While I understand the Ministry take great pains to cover up magical activities for it's own protection, what of the families of Muggle victims who have a right to justice and closure at the loss of their loved ones? Are families somehow compensated or given some form of support or assistance to get back on their feet in the face of a traumatic loss?

Muggle victims has just as much a right to justice as wizard victims, and their murderers will be treated the same. The Ministry doesn't go around giving money to the family of victims of murder or accidents, regardless of whether they're wizards or muggles.

I suppose the real question is about lawsuits. If a rich Death Eater is convicted of killing someone, relatives could sue them for wrongful death. The system isn't really set up so that muggles could feasibly sue wizards. Perhaps they're sent to wizard courts and obliviated after.
