In order to prevail on a wrongful death case, the Plaintiffs have to prove all four elements of the claim: 1) negligence; 2) breach of duty; 3) causation; and 4) damages. Death is hard, and family members want justice and compensation, but not every death is the result of negligence. Therefore, having a wrongful death attorney who understands the law and what needs to be proven can be crucial in determining whether there are merits to a wrongful death case or not. No one wants to go through litigation while recovering from the loss of a loved one without the reassurance that they have a strong case.
