Accidents Causing Wrongful Death
A death is considered "wrongful" by law when it is determined that an act of negligence, reckless behavior, or intentional conduct caused or contributed to the death. A wide range of accidents can cause wrongful death; some of the most common including the following:
Motor Vehicle Accidents - Occupants of small passenger vehicles, vans, and large trucks in addition to motorcyclists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and others on the road are at risk of suffering catastrophic injury and death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that motor vehicle collisions throughout the United States are the leading cause of death for individuals ranging from 5 to 34 years old.
Medical Malpractice - Although there are many highly skilled medical professionals that provide patients with a high standard of care, others conduct themselves in a negligent manner. There are many forms of medical negligence that can result in death, including birth injuries, surgical errors, misdiagnosis, anesthesia mistakes, and emergency department negligence. Patients can suffer injury and illness or experience complications that lead to death.
Workplace Accidents - According to the CDC, every day, approximately 15 workers die in the U.S. from traumatic injuries. Recent statistics indicate that over 5,400 workers were killed by an occupational injury and more than 4 million workers experienced a nonfatal injury or illness on the job annually. While safety rules and regulations are updated annually, deadly workplace accidents, especially for construction workers, continue to take place at alarming rates.
Defective Products - Auto defects, dangerous drug side effects, faulty children's toys, contaminated food, and other products have caused unsuspecting consumers to suffer death. Manufacturers of products that are poorly designed, mislabeled, or defective may be held liable for any deaths their products cause. Based on data provided by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), reported cases of toy-related fatalities to children under the age of 15 rose to 17 in 2010 as compared to 15 in 2009.
