Wrongful death cases are often brought after an accident caused by someone's negligence or willful misconduct. Automobile accidents lead to the largest number of personal injury cases, including wrongful death cases. If the driver responsible for the accident was drunk, under the influence of drugs, breaking traffic laws, or otherwise being negligent while driving, you can sue them for the wrongful death of your loved one.
Another common type of wrongful death case has to do with medical malpractice. Doctors devote themselves to trying to save the lives of others, but every once in a while a doctor comes along that doesn't act in the best interest of their patient. These doctors can be extremely dangerous and their negligent actions can lead to untimely deaths.
Defective products can also be at fault for wrongful deaths. If a manufacturer fails to properly test, safely package, or appropriately label a product that results in someone's death, the manufacturer is liable for that loss. The best way to make the manufacturer pays for their negligence is to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
