While the word "accident" implies that there was no intent to harm, the eyes of the justice system do not let people off of the hook that easy.
Every accident is caused by either one (or many) people's bad decisions.
If it can be proven that an accident occurred because of an individual's negligence and/or recklessness, they may be liable for any damages their behavior caused.
What is Wrongful Death? Wrongful death is a term used to refer to an individual who lost their life because of another person or party's negligence and/or recklessness.
Sadly, wrongful deaths occur with alarming regularity.
Examples of wrongful death cases may involve: A person who was killed in a car accident caused by a defective or malfunctioning vehicle A construction worker who is killed by falling from a poorly constructed scaffolding A child who drowns in a neighbor's swimming pool A worker who was killed because they were not provided with adequate safety equipment If someone you love was killed due to the negligence or recklessness of an employer, business, or other individual, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your losses.
Receiving Compensation After filing a wrongful death suit, you may pursue compensation for the following losses: Loss of companionship or parent Funeral costs Lost wages Pain and suffering Life insurance or projected income Depending on the circumstances of the accident that claimed your loved one's life, you may be eligible to receive punitive damages, as well.
Punitive damages are intended to punish the negligent/reckless party for their behavior, and are meant to serve as an incentive for them to alter their behavior and prevent future accidents from occurring.
