Though nothing can bring loved ones back, holding the negligent person or party accountable for their wrongful actions can provide some measure of solace.  A wrongful death claim can arise from a range of events or accidents with the most common causes of wrongful death including auto accidents, trucking accidents, use of defective products, medical malpractice and construction accidents.

As the number of vehicles on U.S. roadways increase, so do the number of auto and trucking accidents that occur.  Individuals who are injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident may be eligible for damages for injuries or property damage incurred.  This may include mass transit accidents which can be catastrophic for those involved - in many cases multiple passengers are injured or killed in these events.  Mass transit personal injury cases may be filed as class action lawsuits or individual cases.

Premises liability claims can be brought when an individual suffers injuries that should have been prevented while on other people's properties.  The most common type of premises liability claims involve slip and fall cases, these refer to instances in which an individual suffers injuries from a fall that was caused by a slippery floor, dangerous stair steps, or uneven sidewalks.  Premises liability claims can also include dog or animal attacks, bodily attacks from third persons, defective construction or maintenance of property.

Sometimes referred to a workers compensation, injuries and death while working may occur in dangerous jobs such as the construction, truck driving, mining, shipyard, farming and oil industries, however, those who work in any type of job are entitled to workers compensation, from a secretary to a restaurant worker, from a greeter to an employee in the corporate world, anybody who suffers from work related injury.  Victims or the family of victims who have suffered on the job injuries or death are entitled to compensation for loss of work, medical expenses and disability.

 

If a dangerous product or catastrophic event injures or kills multiple victims, a class action lawsuit can be filed. Instead of each victim filing an individual lawsuit, one case will be filed and represented by an attorney or law firm. The suit is filed against the deemed responsible party in an effort to obtain restitution on behalf of all victims.
