Wrongful death cases are serious and very complex. Wrongful death can occur as a result of a car accident, an assault, a botched surgery, a dangerous drug, a defective or dangerous product, or a work-related accident. Most of the time, wrongful death involves some sort of negligence, which is a legal term for someone’s care falling below the standard of a reasonable person. Having a lawyer guide you through this process can lessen the burden of dealing with the insurance company and other professionals involved in these cases.
