Wrongful Death

Wrongful death is a legal term used to describe the situation when an individual’s death is caused by another person’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act. Wrongful death can occur due to a number of reasons including medical malpractice, a car accident, a defective product, or any other act that caused a death that could have been avoided if proper care was taken. In such cases, the family of the deceased can file a wrongful death lawsuit to seek compensation for their loss and suffering.

Here are some examples:

  • Medical Malpractice: Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional, such as a doctor or nurse, acts negligently and causes a patient’s death. Common examples of medical malpractice include incorrect diagnosis, improper treatment, or providing inadequate care.
  • Car Accidents: When a driver is negligent and causes an accident which results in someone’s death, then the driver can be held liable for wrongful death.
  • Defective Products: If a product has been designed or manufactured defectively and it causes someone’s death, then the manufacturer can be held responsible for wrongful death.

Steps to File

When filing a wrongful death lawsuit, there are several steps that must be taken in order to ensure the best outcome for all involved.

  1. Locate an experienced Watkinsville wrongful death lawyer.
  2. Gather the necessary documents. These documents should include the death certificate, any medical records related to the deceased's cause of death, and other pertinent evidence. It is important to be thorough when gathering this information.
  3. File a wrongful death claim with the court. This claim should include the facts of the case, as well as any relevant documentation. The court will review the claim and decide whether or not a wrongful death lawsuit is warranted.
  4. Choose a representative to file the lawsuit on behalf of the estate. This representative should be someone who is closely related to the deceased and is familiar with the situation.
  5. Prepare your case. Your lawyer will help you gather evidence and other resources to build your case. They will also help you prepare for any potential depositions or court appearances that may be necessary.
  6. Negotiate a settlement. Once both parties are ready, your lawyer will attempt to negotiate a settlement on your behalf. The settlement should account for medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of wages, and other damages caused by the wrongful death.
  7. File the lawsuit with the court. If negotiations are unsuccessful, your lawyer can file the lawsuit with the court on your behalf. The court will then hear the case and render a decision in favor of either party.

It is important to remember that wrongful death cases can be very complex and require the expertise of an experienced attorney. Having an experienced wrongful death lawyer in your corner can help ensure that you get the best possible outcome for your case. Contact a Watkinsville wrongful death lawyer at Norris Injury Law today for help.
