Wrongful Death Lawsuits

Posted on

“Tis impossible to be sure of anything but Death and Taxes.”

This line was penned in 1716 by an English playwright named Christopher Bullock in his short play titled “The Cobbler of Preston.” Several years later, this line was mimicked and even recreated by other authors and even mentioned in a letter that President Benjamin Franklin authored in 1789. The unfortunate truth of this line is that death is certain. However, if that death was caused by the fault of another person or company, in today’s legal system, there are measures that can be taken that can provide compensation for those left behind after the death of a loved one. This is what we call a wrongful death lawsuit.

A wrongful death lawsuit is a claim for damages when a person passes away based on the legal fault of another person or entity. The purpose of a wrongful death lawsuit is to provide compensation to the loved ones and dependents of the person who passed away to help cover medical expenses, funeral expenses, lost wages from the deceased, and even for emotional hardship. For instance, if the only source of income for the family is provided by the mother and she is killed by a defective part on her car that caused an auto accident, her family may be able to sue the auto maker for damages, depending on the situation of the auto accident.

Auto accidents are just one example of why to file a wrongful death claim. Other types of fatal accidents may include medical malpractice, product liability, and property hazards.
