What is Wrongful Death?
You may have heard the term ‘wrongful death‘ before, and like many, been confused about exactly what it means. Here is a very brief explanation.
In the event that an injured victim does not survive an accident caused by the negligence of another, wrongful death has occurred. If you are a surviving family member of a wrongful death victim, you have the legal right to seek compensation for your loss.
There are many circumstances in which wrongful death can occur, including:
- Medical malpractice that results in death
- Automobile or airplane accident
- Occupational exposure to hazardous conditions or substances
- Criminal behavior
- Death during a supervised activity
