Types Of Wrongful Death Claims Our Attorneys Are Experienced In: 

A wrongful death, or the loss of life resulting from a negligent act, can come in many forms. Some of the most common include:

Car accidents: 

Drunk or reckless driving behavior that causes a fatal accident.

Motorcycle accidents

Motorcyclists face a significant risk of fatal injuries if hit by a reckless, inattentive, distracted, or speeding driver.

Truck accidents

A commercial truck accident may be the result of negligence on the part of the driver, trucking firm, truck manufacturer, parts manufacturer, or several parties. 

Pedestrian accidents

A pedestrian hit by a moving vehicle is often so severely injured that the injuries prove fatal. If the driver was negligently operating the vehicle, a wrongful death case could be brought to seek justice and full compensation.

Bicycle accidents: 

A bicyclist, when hit by a vehicle, even when wearing a helmet, can die as a result of the impact.

Nursing home abuse: 

If an elderly resident of a nursing home died due to neglect, injury, or a failure to ensure proper nutrition and hydration, a fall, or any type of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, a wrongful death case could be filed.

Product liability cases: 

If a commercial product was faulty, wrongly designed, or failed to warn, leading to the death of a loved one, it might be a valid case of wrongful death.

Animal attacks: 

When a person dies after a vicious dog attack, the dog’s owner may be liable in a wrongful death case.

 

  • Drownings: If a property owner or manager failed to ensure that swimmers were safe on the property, whether a home, hotel, motel, resort, or another pool location, it may be possible to seek justice by bringing a wrongful death case.
  • Slip or trip and fall leading to death: A slip or trip and fall can lead to the untimely death of a healthy individual, and could allow for a case of wrongful death to be filed.

Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim

Specific family members have the right to file a wrongful death claim. In general, these are the close family members such as spouse, children, or parents. The law, called “Action for death by wrongful act; how and when to be brought,” outlines the various situations that may warrant such a case to be filed. These cases include fetal death if a pregnant mother loses her life due to a negligent, wrongful, or reckless act by another party.
