When someone is killed as a result of the negligence of another (an individual or a business entity), the legal description for this event is a ‘wrongful death.’
Wrongful deaths can occur in a variety of settings, including on the roadways while driving, at work, or under a physician’s care. When someone dies unexpectedly, family members must have the presence of mind to seek legal counsel as soon as possible after the accident. Insurance companies of the negligent parties will often do all they can to shield themselves from potential loss and prepare to defend their case well in advance before the other party obtains a lawyer.
It’s important to keep in mind not to wait to hire a lawyer! Doing so will put your family at an extreme disadvantage with any potential settlement or jury trial.
If a loved one has died and you don’t know if someone else was at fault, you should still seek an attorney so all the facts of your case can be investigated thoroughly to make a determination of whether or not your loved one died because of the fault of another.
