Is It a
Wrongful Death Case?

The stress and grief of losing a loved one is only increased when the death was caused by another’s negligence. That’s why it’s important to understand what constitutes a wrongful death case and when you should pursue legal action.

Wrongful death occurs when a person passes away due to the negligence of a doctor or hospital. In these cases, the surviving family members may be able to file a lawsuit and recover monetary damages related to the death.
