What Constitutes Wrongful Death?

We hear about wrongful death all the time, but what exactly does that mean? Wrongful death claims are made when someone dies as a result of negligence or a wrongful act of another person or entity, such as a company or government agency. These cases are usually brought by the family member of the person who was killed.

Here are a few common ways in which we see these cases arise, but please note that this list is not meant to be a complete account of ways wrongful death cases originate. Please speak with an attorney about your particular case.

  • Vehicle Accidents: If a driver’s negligence contributed a death in an accident, then they could be held accountable for the fatality. This could be especially if a driver was Drunk, Distracted, or Otherwise Operating Recklessly at the time of the accident.
  • Violence: Families of homicide victims often choose to hold the perpetrator accountable in a civil wrongful death case after a criminal case it over with.
  • Defective Products: If you look at the government recall website, you will see that there are hundreds of products on the market right now that could cause serious harm. They include vehicles, tools, foods, cosmetics, toys, medicines, and more.
  • Workplace Accidents: If a worker is killed because an employer did not provide proper equipment or training for the job being completed, then the employer could be held accountable.
  • Medical Mistakes: Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States. These can be due to medication mistakes, surgical errors, misdiagnosis, or a failure to treat.
  • Law Enforcement: Aside from the nightly news highlighting incidents of police misconduct, there are many other times where these things go unnoticed by the public. If your loved one has been the victim of wrongdoing by law enforcement, you need to seek legal assistance.
