Common Types of Wrongful Death
A variety of factors can cause wrongful deaths. The following are some of the most common types of cases.
Car Accidents
Car accidents are probably the most common cause of wrongful death. In Florida, there are over 395,000 car accidents annually. These accidents result in thousands of deaths each year.
Whether due to speeding, reckless driving, driving under the influence, or simply not paying attention, car crashes are typically due to one driver’s negligence. A negligent driver can be liable for the deaths of anyone in a crash.
Medical Malpractice
Most doctors and nurses are highly skilled and know their fields in and out. However, they make mistakes, just like everyone else. When it comes to medical malpractice, the most common causes are misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose a condition. Errors in surgery and when treating conditions are also common causes in the medical field.
Defective Products
When talking about defective products, we’re referring to defective pharmaceutical products, toxic foods, unsafe products designed for children, and defective automobiles. If a person dies as a result of a defective product, the product’s manufacturer is liable. Other common types of wrongful death cases include work accidents, semi-truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, aviation accidents, construction accidents, and nursing home negligence.
