  1. WHAT IS WRONGFUL DEATH?

  2. There are various ways in which wrongful death cases can arise, but they all have to do with the negligence of another person, company, or agency causing a person to lose their life. These cases are brought by surviving family members or the estate of the deceased.

  3. Common Causes of Wrongful Death Vehicle Accidents: We know that there are many ways that a driver’s negligence can cause fatalities. Especially dangerous are impaired drivers, those who drive while distracted, and those who disregard the speed limit. Defective Products: When you check the government recall website, you will see that many faulty products make it to the market. These products can be incredibly dangerous and often have a poor design, experience an error during manufacturing, or are incorrectly labeled. Workplace Accidents: Employers are responsible for providing proper training and equipment for their workers. They should ensure everyone has a safe working environment. When an employer is negligent in their duties, they should be held accountable.

  4. Medical Mistakes: The third leading cause of death in the United States is medical mistakes. These happen in a variety of ways when healthcare providers are negligent and include: medication mistakes, surgical errors, misdiagnosis, infections, delayed treatment, and more. Law Enforcement: We know that there are times when law enforcement and corrections personnel use more force than necessary. This can cause fatalities. Nursing Home Abuse: Elder abuse is vastly underreported in the United States and is rampant in many nursing homes. It is abhorrent. The elderly are very vulnerable and should be protected.

  5. DOES WRONGFUL DEATH ONLY APPLY TO INTENTIONAL ACTS THAT KILL SOMEONE? No, wrongful death claims are not just for intentional acts that kill someone, though they can certainly be filed in those cases. Wrongful death cases can also be filed when someone is killed due to the careless or negligent actions of another individual, company, or entity. DOES WRONGFUL DEATH ONLY APPLY TO INTENTIONAL ACTS THAT KILL SOMEONE? One common cause of wrongful death lawsuits is a person being killed during the commission of a crime. In many wrongful death cases, someone is charged with murder, manslaughter, or negligent homicide in the case. They are not always found guilty of a crime.However, you can still file a wrongful death lawsuit against the person you believe is responsible for the death of a loved one.

  6. Do not hesitate to hire a Cleveland wrongful death lawyer to help you if you believe another person’s negligence caused the death of a loved one.
