Wrongful deaths are deaths caused by negligence, a wrongful act or recklessness. If a doctor didn’t follow procedures when treating your loved one in the hospital, for example, you may have a wrongful death claim. If someone was driving erratically and caused an accident leading to a loved one’s death, you may have a wrongful death claim. To find out whether you have a wrongful death claim, contact a personal injury attorney for a thorough review of your situation.
