A death that results from negligence, carelessness, or misconduct is referred to as wrongful death. A wrongful death accident can occur as a result of many circumstances, including
Wrongful death claims can be filed against individual people or against companies or corporations. Claims are usually filed against an individual for wrongful deaths stemming from auto accidents, medical malpractice, slip and fall accidents, etc. In some cases, such as in product liability cases, the lawsuit is brought against the company that manufactured the defective product.
