Wrongful Death
A wrongful death occurs whenever someone dies due to someone else's negligence. Defective products, unsound construction, medical malpractice, and auto accidents like drunk driving, car accidents, motorcycle accidents and semi truck accidents are all examples of accidents that may result in wrongful death. Wrongful death claims are generally filed by family members or beneficiaries who seek compensation for lost wages that would have been provided by the deceased person, funeral costs, lost benefits, loss of inheritance, pain and suffering, loss of companionship and sometimes even punitive damages. Punitive damages are intended to punish wrongdoers and set a precedent that will help prevent others from engaging in similar reckless behavior.
