Wrongful Death
Wrongful death results if a person or organization does (or neglects to do) anything that leads to 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 have the right to be compensated if someone or something prompted or resulted in the death.There are two principal factors in a wrongful death legal action:
- NEGLIGENCE. If the death was a result of the wrong-doing of another party, there must be satisfactory evidence of that negligence. We must demonstrate that the liable party had a certain duty to the victim, they violated that duty, the breach led to the incident or trauma that triggered the loss of life, and the loss of life triggered losses to you and other claimants.
- INTENTIONAL HARM. Some wrongful deaths are the direct result of intentional brutality. In this situation we must demonstrate that the person had the intention to commit the act, the person made 'non-consensual contact' with the victim (this may include hitting a person with a car or utilizing a weapon), and the 'non-consensual contact' was the cause of the loss of life.
