Proving Liability in a Wrongful Death Case

A wrongful death case can arise in any of a wide variety of circumstances that involve some form of negligence. These can include product defects, drunk driving, texting while driving, speeding, distracted driving, improperly maintained walkways or stairs, drowning accidents, car crashes, boating incidents, and many more. Preventable accidents that were caused by someone who was behaving in a reckless manner or someone who simply failed to perform due diligence or have an awareness of others in their surroundings wreak havoc on the lives of others every day. Proving negligence and liability in such cases can be a complicated proceeding and requires careful attention to detail and thorough investigation.
