Wrongful Death Claims

When someone dies because of the malpractice, negligence, or inaction of another individual, the family and/or loved ones of the victim can file wrongful death claims against the party held liable legally.

Granted, there is nothing that can bring back the deceased family members. However, holding the party or individual negligent liable for wrongful actions can offer a measure of some solace.

Wrongful deaths can be caused by a host of accidents or events. The most typical causes of wrongful death can entail the use of defective products, auto accidents, construction accidents, and medical malpractice.

If a party acts recklessly, negligently, with a complete disregard for the safety of other individuals, or even with intent to kill or harm, and a person dies due to these actions, the fatality may be deemed wrongful. It is possible, in such instances, to hold liable legally the party responsible for his or her actions.

Manufacturers, product designers, and distributors, under product liability law, have a responsibility to make certain that the products they sell and make for the public are safe. Distributors and product designers, unfortunately, will neglect on occasion to test rigorously their products to ensure that they are acceptable for sale in public.

If a product is considered poor due to design defect, a marketing defect, or a manufacturing defect, and an individual gets killed as a result, there is a likelihood to hold liable legally that party, regardless of whether the party acted negligently, or not.

Hazardous work environments can pose to employees a severe risk.
