Wrongful Death:
Medical Malpractice, Negligence or Misconduct
A wrongful death occurs when a person dies as a result of the negligence or misconduct of another individual, company or entity. Negligence or misconduct can include, but is not limited to:
- medical malpractice
- automobile or airplane accidents
- occupational exposure to hazardous conditions or substances
- death during a supervised activity
