What Constitutes a Wrongful Death?
While specific laws may vary from state to state, most define a "wrongful death" as one caused by negligence, recklessness, or intentionally harmful actions. In essence, if a death could have—and should have—been prevented, it may be considered wrongful.
The following are some types of incidents that can result in a wrongful death claim:
- Car accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Dangerous drugs
- Dog attacks
- Motorcycle accidents
- Nursing home neglect
- Pedestrian accidents
- Defective products
- Slip and falls
- Truck accidents
