Learn More About Wrongful Death Lawsuits

A Wrongful Death is the result of negligence or medical malpractice. Negligence in wrongful death cases is the result of improper attention to rules, regulations and/or safety standards which create a dangerous environment where the resulting injury of an accident is death. Such cases include constuction accidents, escalator/elevator, sidewalk, slip & fall, or work related accidents.

Medical malpractice is also a cause of wrongful death. If a doctor fails in his or her duty towards a patient, and causes harm which eventualy leads to death, then this qualifies for a medical mispractice lawsuit. Some types of medical malpractice include dental mispractice, emergency room, birth injury, and Neuology (brain). There are also several diseases that can develop due to malpractice, which include breast and lung cancer, colorectal cancer, heart attack, and appendicitis.

Wrongful death litigation seeks to compensate surviving family members for the loss of their loved one. Wrongful death lawsuits are brought to try to reimburse a family for financial loss as well as loss of services and companionship. Monetary awards often also include repayment of expenses such as medical care and funeral costs.

Additionally, punitive damages may be placed on the defendant, if a loved one’s death was a result of malicious, reckless, or intentional misconduct on the defendant’s part.
