A wrongful death claim is brought when the death of an individual is caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional act of another person or entity.
In these circumstances, surviving family members may be entitled to bring a civil claim to seek compensation for their loss.
Understanding Wrongful Death Cases
Wrongful death occurs when a person dies as a result of the negligent or intentional actions of another person or entity. This can happen in a variety of situations, including but not limited to:
- Car accidents caused by reckless or negligent drivers
- Medical malpractice that results in death
- Workplace accidents caused by unsafe conditions or equipment
- Defective products that cause fatal injuries
- Criminal acts that result in death
In each of these situations, the family of the deceased may be entitled to seek compensation for their loss through a wrongful death claim.
Bringing a Wrongful Death Claim
When a family member dies as a result of the actions of another person or entity, surviving family members may be able to bring a wrongful death claim to seek compensation for their loss. This compensation can help to cover expenses such as medical bills, funeral costs, and loss of income, as well as provide compensation for emotional distress, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship.
