It is devastating to lose a loved one as a result of carelessness, negligence, or recklessness. Wrongful death can be defined as a negligent action that resulted in another person’s death, even if it wasn’t intentional. Some of the many circumstances which can contribute to a wrongful death are: faulty or defective products, impaired driving, reckless activities, a lack of adequate security, motor vehicle accidents, and medical malpractice.
