A wrongful death claim arises when an individual’s actions (either intentionally or unintentionally) result in the death of another person. The loved ones or survivors of the departed need to file a claim on behalf of the deceased to gain compensation. Wrongful death cases typically are caused by medical malpractice, auto accidents, and construction accidents.
Medical Malpractice is the third leading cause of death in America, and if a loved one has died due to inadequate treatment from the healthcare system, the survivors are typically entitled to restitution. The pain of losing a loved one is tremendous and you shouldn’t acquire financial troubles on top of undue emotional stress.
The negligence of drunk drivers, fatigued motorists, and other careless truckers can result in an auto accident that causes wrongful death. If a loved one has died due to one of these reasons, we strongly urge you to file a wrongful death claim. Medical expenses and funeral costs can burden a family in their time of grief, and compensation can protect you financially in your time of need.
Construction workers have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and accidents do happen despite numerous safety precautions. Riggings snap, crane operators, make mistakes, and other errors commonly end in death. The failure to adhere to safety precautions can entitle you to compensation for wrongful death due to a construction accident.
