A Closer Look at Wrongful Death Cases in Holiday
A wrongful death claim is brought on behalf of certain family members after they lose a loved one. We can bring a claim if we can prove an individual or business is liable for the fatal, tragic death.
Some examples of wrongful death cases include:
- Fatal car, truck, and motorcycle accidents. You could have lost a family member who was struck by a negligent or drunk driver. We can usually sue the driver for wrongful death. If the defendant was working at the time of the crash, we might also sue the employer.
- Tragic property-related accidents. We might bring a claim if your loved one died in a swimming pool accident, fall, fire, or other accident caused by a property defect.
- Medical mishap. Some wrongful death cases are based on medical negligence. A provider could have failed to do their job properly, leading to death. We might sue a doctor or hospital.
- Product defect accidents. Defective products can lead to fatal injuries. Think of lithium batteries which catch on fire or bicycles that malfunction. Avoid disposing of the product after the accident, since we want to inspect it. We might seek compensation if the product has a design or manufacturing flaw, or if it was marketed improperly.
- Violent crimes. We can also bring a wrongful death case against someone for intentionally killing your family member. In some situations, we can also add a negligent property owner for failure to provide adequate security.
