Types of Wrongful Death Claims

Negligence leading to a wrongful death may arise in all sorts of tragic accidents and situations. A wrongful death claim may be filed if the victim’s family believes the death was the consequence of carelessness or negligence, and are able to prove this claim. Some types of wrongful death claims include:

• Motor vehicle accidents
• Accidents at work
• Defective products
• Dangerous prescription medications
• Boating accidents

The sudden loss of a loved one is one of the hardest experiences anyone can go through. Filing a claim is often the last thing on a person’s mind after their loss. Unfortunately, there is a limited timeframe in which a person can file a wrongful death claim, which is why it is important to consider this option.
