Wrongful Death
When someone passes away or is killed due to misconduct or negligence of another person, it is known as a Wrongful Death. Some elements of a Wrongful Death include:
1. The death of a human being
2. Caused by another’s negligence, or with intent to cause harm
3. The survival of family members who are suffering monetary injury as a result of the death
4. Medical malpractice that results in decedent’s death
5. Automobile or airplane accident
6. Occupational exposure to hazardous conditions or substances
7. Death during a supervised activity.
