What Causes Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death occurs when someone’s negligence or intentional act leads to another person’s death. These tragedies can happen in many ways and often leave families facing emotional and financial devastation. Understanding the common causes helps identify when legal action may be appropriate.

Common causes of wrongful death include:

  • Traffic accidents
  • workplace accidents
  • defective products
  • Slip and falls
  • Medical malpractice
  • Criminal acts

Each wrongful death case is unique, but families deserve justice and accountability when a loved one’s life is taken by negligence or misconduct.

What Damages Can Families Seek in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

A wrongful death claim allows surviving family members to pursue compensation for the emotional and financial losses caused by their loved one’s passing. These damages can help families recover stability and cover expenses during a deeply difficult time.

Families may seek compensation for:

  • Medical expenses: Costs of treatment or care provided before the loved one’s passing.
  • Funeral and burial costs: Expenses associated with memorial and burial arrangements.
  • Loss of financial support: The income and benefits the deceased would have provided to the family.
  • Loss of companionship: The emotional impact of losing love, guidance, and presence.
  • Pain and suffering: The emotional distress endured by the deceased before death.

Our compassionate wrongful death lawyer in Brentwood can help families navigate this process, ensuring they receive the full compensation they deserve while honoring their loved one’s memory.
