Common Causes of Wrongful Death

Wrongful death can occur in various situations where negligence or misconduct leads to a fatality. Understanding the cause of the wrongful death is crucial for establishing liability and pursuing compensation. Common causes of wrongful death include:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents caused by negligent or reckless drivers are a leading cause of wrongful death.
• Medical Malpractice: Medical errors, including misdiagnoses, surgical mistakes, or medication errors, can lead to fatal outcomes.
• Workplace Accidents: Unsafe working conditions, lack of safety training, or equipment malfunctions can cause fatal workplace accidents, especially in high-risk industries.
• Defective Products: Product defects, such as faulty vehicle parts or dangerous consumer products, can lead to fatal accidents, leading to manufacturer liability.
• Premises Liability: Fatal injuries can result from unsafe premises, such as slips and falls, drowning incidents, or other hazards.
• Acts of Violence: Assaults, shootings, or other violent acts caused by negligence or failure to provide adequate security can lead to wrongful death.

Identifying the cause of wrongful death allows us to hold the responsible parties accountable and seek justice and compensation for your family.

Who Can Be Held Liable in Wrongful Death Cases?

Wrongful death cases often involve multiple parties who may share responsibility, depending on the circumstances. At PCLC, our attorneys conduct comprehensive investigations to identify all liable parties, which may include:

• Negligent Drivers: In cases involving motor vehicle accidents, the at-fault driver is typically held accountable for the fatal injuries caused.
• Employers: If the fatality occurred in a workplace accident, the employer may be liable, especially if inadequate safety measures or training were contributing factors.
• Medical Professionals: Doctors, nurses, or healthcare facilities may be held responsible if medical negligence or errors led to the wrongful death.
• Product Manufacturers: In cases involving defective products, manufacturers or distributors may share liability if their product directly caused the fatality.
• Property Owners: If unsafe conditions on a property contributed to the wrongful death, property owners or managers can be held accountable.
• Third Parties or Security Providers: In cases involving acts of violence, third parties, such as security providers or event organizers, may share responsibility if they failed to take reasonable safety measures.

Our attorneys work diligently to hold each responsible party accountable, ensuring that your family receives fair and comprehensive compensation.

Types of Compensation Available in Wrongful Death Cases

While no amount of money can ever replace a lost loved one, wrongful death claims allow families to seek financial support that can help them cope with the financial and emotional impacts of their loss. Common types of compensation available in wrongful death cases include:

• Medical Expenses: Covers the medical bills incurred before the fatality, including emergency treatment, surgeries, or hospitalization costs.
• Funeral and Burial Expenses: Compensation to cover the costs of funeral services, burial, or cremation arrangements.
• Loss of Financial Support: Compensation for the financial support the deceased would have provided to their family over time, including lost income and benefits.
• Loss of Consortium: Non-economic damages awarded to family members who have lost companionship, guidance, and the emotional support of the deceased.
• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the emotional suffering and grief experienced by surviving family members as a result of the loss.
• Punitive Damages: In cases involving extreme negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the responsible party and deter similar actions.

Our attorneys work closely with financial experts and life planners to ensure that compensation reflects the true impact of the wrongful death on your family’s financial and emotional well-being.
