What is Wrongful Death?

A wrongful death occurs when an individual dies due to the negligent or intentional actions of another party. This can include incidents such as car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, or defective products. Families may be entitled to compensation for their loss, including funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering.

For a deeper understanding of wrongful death laws, consider reviewing resources from the American Bar Association.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death

Some of the most common causes of wrongful death include:

  • Car Accidents: Collisions due to reckless driving or intoxicated drivers.
  • Medical Malpractice: Negligent actions by healthcare professionals that result in death.
  • Workplace Accidents: Fatal injuries occurring in unsafe working conditions.
  • Product Liability: Deaths caused by defective or dangerous products.

Understanding the cause of the wrongful death is essential for building a strong case.

If you believe your loved one has died due to negligence, consider the following steps:

  1. Gather Evidence: Collect all relevant documentation, including medical records, accident reports, and eyewitness accounts.
  2. Consult with a Wrongful Death Lawyer: A knowledgeable lawyer can help you navigate the legal complexities and assess the viability of your case.
  3. File a Claim: Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim against the responsible party.
