What is wrongful death?
Wrongful death is caused by another person or company’s wrongful act or omission. This can include deaths caused by accidents, medical malpractice, or intentional acts. If someone you love has died due to someone else’s negligence, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit. The negligent party may be liable for the victim’s medical expenses, funeral expenses, burial expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

What are the common causes of wrongful death?
Motor vehicle accidents: Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of death in the United States. More than 30,000 people die each year in motor vehicle accidents, and millions are injured. These include fatal injuries such as car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and four-wheeler accidents resulting from another driver’s negligence.
Defective products: As a consumer, you must be aware of your product’s potential risks. This is especially true for products that can be potentially hazardous, such as defective motor vehicle parts, faulty household items, and children’s toys. If a defective product injures you, it’s essential to know your rights. You may be able to file a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer of the product. A product liability lawsuit can help you recover damages for your injuries, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Pool accidents: Pool accidents can be highly deadly. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 4,000 people die each year in the United States as a result of pool accidents. These include drowning deaths or fatal slip & fall accidents that often result from improper supervision or a lack of warning signs. If you are injured in a pool accident, it’s vital to seek medical attention right away. Contact our experienced team of personal injury attorneys to discuss your legal options.
Workplace accidents: Workplace accidents and wrongful death can occur on the job from things like cancer by toxic exposure or a tragic event, such as a fatal accident at a construction site. However, in other cases, the worker may suffer serious injuries that lead to death days, weeks, or even months later. When a worker is killed on the job, their loved ones may be able to file a wrongful death claim. This type of claim can help the family recover financial damages for medical expenses, funeral costs, and other damages that resulted from the accident.
Bicycle accidents: Bicycle accidents can happen for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common reasons are drivers failing to yield or share the road with cyclists. When drivers do not share the road, they can end up driving into the path of a cyclist, which can cause a fatal accident.
Nursing home abuse: It’s a heartbreaking reality that many elderly residents in nursing homes are neglected or abused, often with fatal consequences. Nursing home abuse can take many forms, from physical abuse and neglect to sexual abuse and financial exploitation. It can involve caregivers, other residents, or even family members. If you suspect a loved one is being abused or neglected in a nursing home, taking action is crucial. Don’t hesitate to contact our personal injury law firm today to discuss your legal options.
Medical malpractice: Wrongful death claims can be brought against a variety of defendants, including hospitals, doctors, nurses, pharmaceutical companies, and medical device manufacturers.
