How Does a Wrongful Death Happen?

A wrongful death occurs when someone is killed through the carelessness, recklessness, or negligence of another. There are common causes of wrongful death, including:

•      Vehicle Accidents. These accidents can be caused by cars, motorcycles, trucks,
        commercial trucks, or buses.
•      Defective Products. In many cases, the designers, distributors, or manufacturers of a
        product could allow a defective product into the market, whether it is with the actual product
        itself or because the product did not have enough hazards marked on their packaging.
•      Criminal Activity. People committing crimes can also be responsible for deaths that were
        unintended during their criminal activity. In this case, the defendant could be charged in civil
        and criminal court.  
•      Workplace Hazards. Many accidents happen on the job. These could be a result of faulty
        machinery, harmful chemicals, or falling from heights. The most common places for these
        types of injuries are at mining sites, manufacturing plants, or construction sites.
