Types of Fresno Wrongful Death Cases
A wrongful death claim can arise from numerous situations. Some of the most common wrongful death cases include:
- Vehicle accidents. Fatal automobile accidents are one of the most common types of Fresno wrongful death cases. Large trucks, passenger vehicles, buses, and motorcycles are vulnerable to accidents resulting in losing a loved one.
- Workplace incidents. Workers may die on the job due to the negligent or intentional actions of others. Some workers may be fatally injured from a fall or struck by heavy equipment. Others may be the victims of workplace violence.
- Medical malpractice. Healthcare providers can make errors in treatment or diagnosis that result in the wrongful death of a loved one.
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents. Pedestrians and cyclists are especially vulnerable to fatal injury when struck by a vehicle.
- Defective products. When a defective or dangerous product kills a person, their families may have a product liability claim. These cases are difficult to prove and require a personal injury attorney with experience winning product liability cases.
- Premises liability. If a person dies because of a dangerous condition on the property of another party, their family may be able to bring a premises liability wrongful death claim.
- Abuse or neglect. When a person dies due to the abuse or neglect of another party, their family may have the right to bring a wrongful death claim. We sometimes see these cases when elderly patients are deprived of medical care, food, or water by a caregiver or nursing facility.
