Put simply, wrongful death is a death caused by an accident that happened because of negligence. It can look like some of the following situations:
- Someone dies in an accident because the breaks in their vehicle failed and the vehicle manufacturer knew about the problem but did not notify owners.
- A bus company did not perform regularly scheduled maintenance on their buses and this lead to an accident that killed someone.
- A medicine that someone takes was tainted with a chemical during the bottling process at a factory.
- A toy package for a children’s toy failed to notify you of smaller parts that could pose a choking hazard.
- A roadway that was under construction failed to have the appropriate signs and warnings notifying oncoming drivers, causing a fatal accident.
These are just a few examples of wrongful death, but they are by no means a complete list.
When the Worst Happens
Sometimes accidents happen and nobody is at fault, but we also recognize that sometimes accidents are caused by negligence. When that happens, whoever is at fault needs to be held accountable so nobody else has to die.
As bad as it sounds, unless companies and individuals who show negligence are held accountable, and their errors are brought to light, they will not change.
Whether their negligence was due to concerns about their budget or a fear of falling behind schedule, it is not okay to jeopardize lives.
