What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death occurs when a person loses their life due to negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct by another party. These cases can arise from:
- Motor vehicle accidents involve fatal crashes caused by reckless drivers, including car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian incidents.
- Workplace accidents result in fatal injuries on job sites, especially in high-risk industries like construction and manufacturing.
- Medical malpractice can lead to wrongful death due to surgical errors, misdiagnoses, or medication mistakes.
- Defective products, such as unsafe consumer goods, vehicles, or machinery, can cause fatal injuries.
- Premises liability cases involve fatal falls, drownings, or other accidents caused by unsafe property conditions.
- Criminal acts, including violent crimes or intentional harm, can also result in wrongful death.
