Causes of Wrongful Death
Thousands of people are killed in accidents across the country every year. Some of these accidents are due to circumstances outside of anyone’s control, but most of them are the result of negligence. When an accident results in the death of an innocent victim, that fatality is known as wrongful death and may allow the surviving family to file for compensation. Wrongful death can be caused by any kind of accident including, but not limited to, any of the following:
- Negligence
- Recklessness
- Product liability
- Premises liability
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
