Why Work with a Personal Injury Lawyer for Your Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death claim is initiated as a legal recourse when someone’s negligence or deliberate actions result in the death of another individual. It permits surviving relatives to pursue compensation for their loss. Such compensation can cover medical bills, funeral expenses, lost earnings, emotional distress, and more. This legal avenue serves to hold accountable those deemed responsible for the incident while extending assistance to the mourning family.
A seasoned personal injury attorney will analyze the specifics of your wrongful death lawsuit to hold the responsible parties accountable, while extending assistance to the mourning family. If a loved one has suffered a wrongful death, do not settle for the initial offer presented by an insurance company.

Do I Have a Wrongful Death Claim?
Wrongful death can happen through various circumstances, but it generally involves the following fundamental components stemming from a wrongful action committed by another party:
- Negligence. Wrongful death frequently arises from someone’s negligence, defined as the failure to exercise reasonable care. Instances may encompass reckless driving, medical malpractice, or hazardous working environments.
- Intentional Harm. In certain instances, death may be the consequence of deliberate actions, such as assault, homicide, or other criminal deeds.
- Breach of Duty. The accountable party was obligated to behave in a specific manner to avert harm. When they violate this obligation, it can result in fatal outcomes.
- Causation. There must be a clear connection between the negligent or intentional actions and the resulting death. This connection is established through evidence and legal reasoning.
Often, a victim’s death is caused by a deadly accident, like the Roach Law Firm’s recent $730 million truck accident verdict. Common accidents that result in wrongful death claims include:
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Medical device injuries
- Oilfield injuries
- Fires and explosions
- And more
