The need for an accident attorney
A wrongful death is one that results either from the negligence or the willful act of another person. For surviving family members, wrongful death takes a serious emotional toll on their well-being. The family members of the deceased can enlist the services of an accident lawyer, and press civil charges against the accused person.
Wrongful death case examples
A wrongful death can occur anytime and anyplace. Some deaths are the result of work-related hazards or accidents. If the accident was the result of equipment failure or failure to provide a safe work environment; the employer can be held responsible for the death of the victim. In the case of equipment failure, if the equipment is faulty, the equipment manufacturer can also be held liable. Hospitals and doctors can be found liable for the death of a person if they acted negligently or omitted the proper care. Pet owners can be held accountable for deaths related to a dog attack.
