Types of Wrongful Death Claims
The term "wrongful death" is used to describe a death that is caused by the negligent or wrongful actions of others. Mr. Harrison represents the spouses and children of those killed by negligence in scenarios such as:
- Car accidents caused by drunk driving, reckless speeding or running red lights
- Trucking accidents caused by truck driver negligence, poorly fastened loads or lack of truck driver experience
- Medical mistakes such as a failure to detect symptoms of a fatal or emergency condition such as cancer or heart attack; failure to communicate with a patient or other health care provider; or administering the wrong dose or type of medication
- Accidents caused by defective auto parts such as faulty brakes or sticky gas pedals
- Development of fatal side effects due to defective or unsafe pharmaceuticals
- Negligent care or abuse by nursing home staff
- Workplace accidents caused by unsafe working conditions, improperly maintained equipment or lack of training
- Railroad accidents caused by poorly maintained trains and/or tracks, lack of training and conductor errors
These are just some examples of situations that can result in wrongful death lawsuits. Any time someone dies as the result of another person's actions, the surviving family will likely have grounds to file a lawsuit.
