Am I Eligible to Pursue Compensation?

To be able to pursue compensation for damages, you will need to prove that your loved one’s death was caused by the negligence of another person.

There are four elements of negligence in a wrongful death claim:

• Duty of care ”“ This establishes that the at-fault party had a legal obligation to act in a reasonable manner to prevent your loved one harm. For example, drivers have a duty to follow traffic laws to ensure the safety of themselves and others on the road.
• Breach of duty of care ”“ This element determines that the at-fault party failed to act in a reasonable manner. For instance, if a driver runs a red light, he or she failed his or her legal duty by risking the safety of others.
• Causation ”“ This establishes that there is a direct link between the at-fault party’s negligent behavior and your loved one’s death. Your loved one would not have been killed were it not for the at-fault party’s careless actions or failure to act.
• Damages ”“ In the last element, you must establish that you suffered financial losses, like funeral costs and emotional trauma as a result of your loved one’ death.

It can be very difficult to prove negligence without the help of an experienced Prescott wrongful death attorney by your side. We are ready to review your claim anytime, 24/7.

Common Types of Wrongful Death

Unfortunately, fatal accidents happen every day. Some of the most common wrongful death claims our firm handles includes:

• Car accidents ”“ The road is often a dangerous place and can lead to many unexpected deaths, especially when motorists are driving recklessly or carelessly.
• Motorcycle accidents ”“ Since motorcycles have little protection to shield riders in the event of an accident with larger vehicles, any injuries sustained can be fatal.
• Defective products ”“ We often trust the products we buy, but something as simple as a poorly labeled drug or defective tire can have fatal consequences.
• Medical malpractice ”“ Medical errors can be fatal, such as when a doctor fails to diagnose an illness or administers the wrong medication dosage to a patient.
• Workplace accidents ”“ While these accidents can occur in any industry, there are certain occupations that are riskier than others like industrial work, construction and some forms of labor work. These jobs are prone to accidents that are often deadly.
