Common Causes of Wrongful Death

Wrongful deaths can happen in countless ways, but some of the most common causes include:  

• Traffic Accidents – Careless actions like distracted driving, speeding, or driving under the influence can have devastating consequences.  
• Workplace Accidents – Dangerous conditions, faulty equipment, or lack of proper training can lead to unnecessary tragedies on the job.  
• Medical Malpractice – Mistakes in diagnosis, treatment, or surgery can take lives that could have been saved.  
• Unsafe Properties – Poorly maintained buildings or grounds can lead to fatal falls, electrocutions, or other preventable accidents.  
• Defective Products – Dangerous consumer goods, faulty equipment, or harmful medications can result in unimaginable loss.  

If your loved one was lost due to any of these or other preventable causes, it’s important to know you have legal options to seek justice.

Why Filing a Wrongful Death Claim Matters

We know that nothing can take away the pain of losing someone you love. But pursuing a wrongful death claim can ease some of the burdens your family is now facing.

A successful claim can help cover:  

• Medical Bills – Any costs for emergency care or treatment before your loved one’s passing.  
• Funeral Expenses – Peace of mind knowing that end-of-life arrangements are taken care of.  
• Lost Income – Compensation for the support your loved one would have provided for your family.  
• Loss of Companionship – Recognition of the emotional void left by their absence.  
• Pain and Suffering – Acknowledgment of the profound emotional toll this tragedy has caused.  

These resources can give your family the chance to focus on what truly matters: healing, honoring your loved one, and finding a way forward.
