The time after a person’s passing is always difficult for their friends and family. This period can be even more devastating if a loved one’s death could have been prevented. A wrongful death action arises when another’s negligent actions cause the death. This third person can be a literal person, entity, or company. Every case is different, as wrongful death attorneys, we can tell you that these cases require the same basic elements:
1. A third party acted negligently or recklessly
2. That negligent or reckless action directly caused the death
3. There must be a surviving spouse, child, or beneficiary
4. Those surviving beneficiaries must have suffered financial damages as a result of their loss
