What is Wrongful Death?
A wrongful death occurs when a life is lost due to another party’s negligence. Common causes include:
- Car accidents
- Truck and tractor-trailer crashes
- Medical malpractice
- Construction site accidents
A wrongful death claim seeks compensation for the financial and emotional losses suffered by surviving family members. Our attorneys provide clear guidance and dedicated representation through every step.
What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the required standard of care, causing harm to a patient. When medical errors result in death, families may pursue both medical malpractice and wrongful death claims. Frequent causes include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Medication and prescription mistakes
Our firm has decades of experience holding hospitals, doctors, and healthcare providers accountable for fatal negligence.
