Types of Wrongful Death Cases
While wrongful death cases stem from scenarios where a person or an entity failed to act in a “normal and reasonable manner” there are a number of wrongful death situations that each have unique legal ramifications. The following can result in a case of wrongful death:
Auto Accidents
Car crashes happen every day. Often, they result in serious injuries and even death. Drivers who carelessly get behind the wheel and take another life should be held responsible for the fatality they caused. Negligent driver maneuvers can include disregarding a red light or stop sign, improper lane change, speeding, driving while intoxicated, texting and driving, and many other negligent actions. Any and all of these traffic violations can end in the death of a loved one.
Supervised Activities
Part of vacationing means you can try new things. However, numerous deaths occur each year during supervised recreational activities. Supervised activities require that you put your trust in the hands of company employees. When the company fails to uphold that trust in their safety regulations, people can be injured and killed. Managers may not be paying attention to you, safety protocols may not be given to you, and staff may fail to do their jobs. These are all reasons why families seek compensation from the company death of a loved one.
Work-Related Accidents
Occupational accidents that result in a wrongful death can be devastating to the loved ones who have been left in grief. When an employer has acted negligently and has killed someone through their actions, it is only appropriate that the dependents of the deceased receive just compensation for their loved one’s untimely passing. This is especially true when the departed was the primary breadwinner of a family. In these scenarios, the company has not only taken the loved one from their family–but they have also taken their primary means of survival. Workplace fatalities can result in wrongful death cases due to many scenarios including exposure to chemicals, machine malfunctions, breaches of safety protocols, explosions, and other work hazards.
