Causes of Wrongful Death
Common causes of wrongful death claims include:
- Car Accidents
- Truck Accidents
- Pedestrian Accidents
- Construction Accidents
- Work Accidents
When negligence or carelessness leads to a fatality, the resulting death may be considered wrongful. Negligent actions of a company, corporation or an individual may be the grounds for a wrongful death case.
As a spouse or dependent of the deceased, you are probably eligible to file for wrongful death compensation. An individualized consultation with our lawyers is necessary to discuss the factors unique to your case and to ensure that you are an eligible party. If the deceased was young, or had no spouse or children, then parents or other people may be entitled to pursue compensation. Our case evaluations are free and we do not charge attorney’s fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
