Any death that is caused by the negligence of another, whether it is in a car accident or other accident, is often referred to as a wrongful death. In wrongful death cases, the family or representatives of the decedent's estate may file suit and collect damages against the person or people responsible for the accident. These damages may include lost wages and benefits, loss of companionship, and any emotional pain and suffering that is caused by the death. In order to obtain these damages, it must be shown that specific actions (or inaction) was responsible for the death and that the death would not have occurred without those actions.
Wrongful deaths may occur in a variety of accidents including:
- Car and truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Boating accidents
- Oil field and commercial boating accidents
- Slip and fall and trip and fall accidents
