- NEGLIGENCE. If the death was because of the wrong-doing of an additional party, there must be adequate proof of that negligence. We must demonstrate that the liable party had a particular duty to the casualty, they failed in that duty, the failure led to the trauma or trauma that brought about the death, and the loss of life produced losses to you and other claimants.
- INTENTIONAL HARM. Quite a few wrongful deaths are the consequences of intentional physical violence. In this circumstance we must prove that the individual possessed the intention to proceed with the act, the person engaged in 'non-consensual contact' with the victim (this could include hitting someone with a car or employing a weapon), and the 'non-consensual contact' was the cause of the death.
