A wrongful death lawsuit seeks justice for surviving family members when a loved one dies because of another’s negligence or intentional wrongdoing. The goal is not just financial recovery but also ensuring accountability.
Frequent Causes
- Nursing Home Neglect resulting in fatal infections or injuries.
- Serious Car or Truck Accidents caused by reckless or impaired drivers.
- Medical Errors (e.g., misdiagnosis, botched surgery) that prove deadly.
- Defective Products (dangerous medical devices, unsafe pharmaceuticals).
- Unsafe Premises leading to fatal slips, trips, or assaults.
Damages in a Wrongful Death Suit
- Economic Losses: Funeral costs, loss of the deceased’s income, and any medical bills incurred before death.
- Noneconomic Damages: Loss of companionship, guidance, and emotional support.
- Punitive Damages: In extreme cases, courts may award punitive damages to punish especially egregious conduct and deter future wrongdoing.
