The Cost of Wrongful Death
Decedents’ family members often experience serious financial damages as well. Depending on the nature of the accident in question, families may accrue thousands of dollars in medications, hospital stays, rehabilitative treatments, visits with specialists, life support, and more. These costs become exponentially greater in cases where the decedent was injured, hospitalized, and lived for any amount of time before passing away. In either case, families typically bear the brunt of funeral costs alone, which tend to total at least $5,000. -
What Is Wrongful Death and How Does it Happen?
Wrongful death is a distinct category of injury and death because it occurs due to the negligence, reckless behavior, or failure of another person. The circumstances that lead to wrongful death are typically created when another party fails to fulfill a certain obligation or does not carefully execute their duties. Wrongful death can occur due to a variety of errors and oversights, including:
- Driving while texting, talking, or otherwise distracted
- Drunk driving
- Road rage
- Failure to properly or promptly diagnose a serious medical condition
- Surgical never events, such as performing a procedure on the wrong patient or leaving forceps, needles, gauze, etc. inside the patient’s body after surgery
- A property owner’s or manager’s failure to fix or warn workers, clients, etc. of unsafe walkways, bridges, floors, etc.
- A landlord’s inaction or failure to properly secure the premises to prevent forced entry, violent assault, and death of tenants
- Construction accidents involving heavy machinery, falls from heights, electrocution, or falling objects
- Exposure to toxic chemicals or substances
- Bicycle accidents
- Motorcycle accidents in Chicago
- Truck accidents in Chicago
- Injury and death as a result of a poorly designed, defectively manufactured, or falsely advertised product
In most circumstances, all of the above needlessly subject other people to serious danger, life-threatening injury, and often death. If drivers, employers, property managers, and others exercise appropriate caution and adhere to safety protocol, such accidents can be avoided and lives are protected. However, when they fail to do so, their negligence can result in tragic loss of life and devastating damage to their families and loved ones.
