Our wrongful death lawyers know how to find the cause of wrongful death in a vehicular accident and determine who is responsible. If the cause is a defective part of the vehicle, then the automobile company may be liable for damages. After a truck accident that results in someone’s death, it may be possible to hold the trucking company responsible if the driver broke trucking regulations.

While it may not be the most common cause of wrongful death, a slip-and-fall accident can potentially result in fatal injury. When someone impacts their head against a concrete floor or metal railing, it can cause severe physical trauma, including brain damage. In some cases, these injuries may be too drastic to recover from, resulting in death. If this occurs, a wrongful death law firm can help you determine whether you have a wrongful death case on your hands.

A wrongful death lawsuit can also occur when doctors, nurses, or other hospital workers demonstrate negligence in the emergency room. Malpractice cases can include doctors performing surgical errors, prematurely discharging a patient who still requires treatment, or misdiagnosing a patient’s health condition. If you believe that your loved one’s death was the result of medical malpractice, contact a wrongful death attorney to learn more about your options.

A person’s death in a medical facility may be the result of an anesthesiologist making a fatal error. If they administer a lethal dosage, that person has failed in their professional responsibilities and may be held responsible for the patient’s death. A wrongful death lawyer can help you decide how to proceed if your loved one dies due to complications with anesthesia.
