Fault for a deadly accident can fall on many parties. In the case of a fatal car accident, the other driver is usually at fault. However, in the case of workplace accidents, defective products, or medical malpractice, then businesses, manufacturers, and doctors may also be liable, respectively. It all depends on the specifics of the accident: who was involved, where it occurred, and how it happened.
Often, wrongful death cases have multiple liable parties. Identifying all at-fault persons and entities is an important step in any wrongful death case and is necessary for obtaining the maximum amount of compensation.
