Wrongful death refers to any fatality that occurs as a result of another individual or corporation’s negligence, recklessness or intentional harm. Families of those who have experienced a wrongful death will be entitled to compensation for their funeral expenses, as well as their pain and suffering.

Common causes of wrongful death include:
• aircraft accidents
• car and bus accidents
• medical malpractice
• railroad accidents
• recalled (or unsafe) medications
• slip-and-fall accidents
• unsafe products
Following a Wrongful Death
Loved ones of wrongful death victims should set up an initial consultation with an experienced personal injury lawyer. During this meeting, prospective plaintiffs can:
• Find out if they have a provable legal claim.
• Get a better understanding of the process associated with winning a
personal injury lawsuit.
• Learn more about settlements in cases similar to their own.
• Get advice about whether filing an individual case of joining a class-
action lawsuit is better for their needs and situations.

Most wrongful death lawyers offer these initial consultations for free, as a way to encourage loved ones of wrongful death victims to seek the compensation they deserve.

With the help of a wrongful death attorney, plaintiffs will benefit from:
• Access to a network of experts who will verify their wrongful death
claims when testimony is needed in legal proceedings.
• Professional representation in court, arbitration and/or mediation
proceedings.
• Help negotiating with corporate lawyers and dealing with insurance
agents.
• Delayed payment for legal services, as most wrongful death lawyers
work on contingency.
