The most important types of evidence in a wrongful death lawsuit typically include:
Medical records and autopsy reports to establish the cause of death.
Witness statements that can corroborate how the incident occurred and who was at fault.
Expert testimony, including from accident reconstruction specialists, medical experts, and financial analysts, to demonstrate the circumstances of the death and its financial impact on the deceased's family.
Photographs and video evidence from the scene of the incident.
Police and accident reports that provide details from the investigation following the incident.
This evidence is used to establish the defendant's liability, the extent of damages, and the connection between the defendant’s actions and the death of the victim.
