What Is A Wrongful Death Case?
Contrary to what many people may think, wrongful death cases are not criminal cases. They are civil lawsuits brought by the families or estates of those who were killed due to the negligent, careless, or wrongful acts of another person, company, or entity.
Sometimes, these cases run in conjunction with a criminal case, but they do not have to. Today, we will discuss some of the common ways in which these cases arise, but please know that this is not a complete list. Always talk to your personal attorney before making any decisions about your particular case.
- Car Accidents – During New Jersey’s latest reporting year, there were 591 traffic-crash fatalities. We know that many of these fatalities were the result of negligent driving behaviors – Impaired Drivers, Distracted drivers, etc.
- Workplace Accidents – Employers must ensure that their workers are as safe as possible. This includes providing them with the training and equipment necessary to perform all functions of their job.
- Product Liability – There are many products on the market shelved that have flawed designs, manufacturing errors, or problems with their labels. These issues can lead to major consumer injuries or deaths.
- Medical Malpractice – Diagnosing mistakes, anesthesia errors, birth injuries, medication errors, surgical errors, delayed treatment, and more are all major medical mistakes. Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States. They kill approximately 250,000 people each year.
- Criminal Defense – When a person is killed due to a criminal act, whether they were killed intentionally or unintentionally, their family may be able to bring a wrongful death claim against the person (or people) responsible.
