Wrongful Death and the Law
"Wrongful death" is the legal term for any fatal accident that is due to someone else's negligence. A wrongful death case can arise from any type of accident; some of the more common are as follows:
- Auto accidents, including truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, boating accidents, and aviation accidents.
- Construction accidents
- Medical malpractice
Wrongful death litigation is invariably high-stakes, involving large amounts of money and strong emotions. Such cases should not be left to anyone but the most experienced and skilled lawyers. We are proud, at Kolker & Germeroth, L.L.C., to have two lawyers who are well-known for their successes in large-scale cases. If a case needs to go to trial to get clients full compensation, we will not hesitate to do so.
Of course, wrongful death claims are about more than getting monetary compensation. Families often feel some measure of relief to see the people responsible for their loved one's death made responsible for their actions. And such cases often encourage other organizations to increase safety standards, lest they also become liable.
