Wrongful death cases can involve any type of personal injury that involves the demise of the victim. Wrongful death can be caused by motor vehicle collisions, motorcycle accidents, injuries on rigs, ships and/or barges or vessels, defective products, any torturous or wrongful conduct of a company or individual that leads to a human being’s demise. A wrongful death claim includes a survival action acknowledging the person’s pain and suffering immediately following a traumatic accident/incident up to the time of death. It also includes a claim for the family, a loss of the decedent’s earnings and earning capacity (past & future), medical expenses, as well as a loss of decedent’s love, companionship and affection.
