When someone dies due to the fault of another person or entity (like a car manufacturer), the survivors may be able to bring a wrongful death lawsuit.
Whereas medical malpractice specifically addresses cases of medical negligence, wrongful death cases result from a variety of circumstances, including death caused by:
- Medical malpractice
- Birth injuries
- Nursing home abuse or negligence
- Automobile accidents caused by negligence
- Recalled or dangerous food sold in restaurants or grocery stores
- Defective medical devices
- Assault (even when the actual death was unintentional)
- Recalled or dangerous vehicles
The types of damages allowed in medical malpractice and wrongful death claim will often depend on the facts of your case, as well as applicable state laws. It is always advisable to contact a Medical Negligence Lawyers before filing any lawsuit.
