WHAT CONSTITUTES A WRONGFUL DEATH? Proving Negligence in Wrongful Death Cases
Truck Accidents Trucking accidents differ from car accidents because they involve larger, bulkier vehicles that often haul heavy loads. Trailers can tip over, spill the freight, or crash into smaller vehicles. In these accidents, passengers in smaller vehicles are more likely to suffer serious injuries or succumb to death. Medical Malpractice Patients entrust their lives to doctors and other health care professionals; therefore, they can expect a standard of care. Unfortunately, instances occur when physicians and health care workers cut corners or fail to follow proper procedures, killing their patients. Deviation from medical protocols can lead to birth injuries, misdiagnoses, surgical errors, or delayed and improper treatment.

Being injured as a result of someone else’s carelessness is devastating enough. When a person dies from that negligence, the surviving family members want the responsible party held accountable for the loss of their loved one. This is when people take legal action and file a wrongful death claim. Understand what constitutes a wrongful death. Proving negligence is the first step in filing a wrongful death claim. Claimants must prove that the defendant had a duty of care to the deceased. Furthermore, the responsible party must also have breached their duty of care by failing or refusing to act with reasonable care, which directly caused the injuries resulting in death.
Multiple practice areas lead to wrongful death. Take a look at these common situations that lead to wrongful death cases.
Car Accidents In 2023, 41,000 people died in car accidents in the U.S. Whether from DUIs, distracted driving, or speeding, injured passengers/drivers and families of the deceased are left to struggle with medical bills or reduced income due to loss.
