Wrongful Death
Wrongful death happens if an individual or entity does (or neglects to do) something that triggers the loss of someone’s life.Negligence, malice, product liability, and/or premises liability can all be contributing facets to a wrongful death, and you should be reimbursed if something or someone prompted or added to the loss of life.There are two fundamental factors in a wrongful death claim:
- NEGLIGENCE. If the death was caused by the wrong-doing of any other entity, there must be satisfactory evidence of that negligence. We must illustrate that the responsible party had a certain duty to the victim, they failed in that duty, the failure led to the accident or trauma that resulted in the death, and the death produced damages to you and other claimants.
- INTENTIONAL HARM. Some wrongful deaths are the result of willful force. In this case we must demonstrate that the accused possessed the plan to commit the act, the person established 'non-consensual contact' with the victim (this can include hitting another person with a car or using a weapon), and the contact was the cause of the loss of life.
The loss of anyone you love is distressing enough without the added monetary burden that can go along with the loss.
