The Rising Number of Wrongful Deaths

Wrongful accidents, injuries, and death cases are abundant across the United States. Of course, the cities with the most populace, such as Atlanta, Georgia, have a higher level of wrongful accidents, injuries, and death cases brought before the judicial court system every day.

Wrongful deaths stemming from negligent accidents are high in cities like Atlanta. These wrongful death cases spread over many different industries, such as, but not limited to,

  • Accidents on the roadways
  • Construction sites
  • Every area of the medical profession
  • Factory workers
  • Postal workers

The reasons or situations that subject workers to a possible wrongful death are as vast and varied as the industries they serve.

One fact is inevitable: a wrongful accident, injury, or death would not have occurred if it were not for the other person’s negligent actions causing this to happen. Negligence is always the deciding factor in a wrongful death case.

A wrongful death case must have a definitive foundation, such as an accident, injury, or death that occurred because another person (s) or company was negligent in their actions. And, unfortunately, the burden of proof lies on the survivor of the deceased. We know what to do and how to help you if you have a good case against the other person.

Over 90,000 deaths occur every year across the United States. This number only takes into account deaths due just to medical malpractice. Fatal car crashes due to negligence sit at the top of the list of all sectors, along with construction site deaths due to a host of negligent factors.

Yes, you need to seek compensation for what another person’s negligent actions cause your loved one. However, the burden of proof is on you, the victim’s advocate, and our group of esteemed attorneys.

Who Can Bring a Lawsuit Against the Wrongful Actions of Another?

  • The surviving spouse or closest family member
  • The children of the deceased

How Can Wrongful Deaths Occur?

Wrongful death cases span many instances, such as but not limited to a few of the following examples. Each example can entail many different circumstances, and we have found that no wrongful death case is the same.

  • Roadway accidents caused by a negligent driver
  • Construction site deaths and other workplace accidents
  • Medical malpractice
  • Patient abuse or neglect
  • Defective products, machinery, tools

Survivors may feel that it is the loss of a loved one and not the money that grieves them. They may think that money does not matter because their loved one is gone forever, and no amount of money can bring them back.

This belief is accurate. However, this unexpected and negligent death left a void in the survivor’s life and caused a mound of medical bills and end-of-life expenses the family may have to pay. Survivors should never have to pay for the actions of a negligent person.

In some instances, creditors can start collecting proceedings from the family for these mounting expenses. When we take a person (s) or company to court over their negligent actions, they will think twice before repeating these actions and causing the death of another person in the future.

Taking a negligent company to court and winning this case means that the company must change its policies and procedures to prevent any other employee from ever dying on the job again. Survivors need to ask themselves the following questions.

  • Why should the survivor pay?
  • Should not the negligent person who caused this death have to pay something?
  • Why should the negligent person walk away without paying some restitution?
  • Will winning a settlement help close the door to an injustice done to my loved one by a reckless person?
