Wrongful Death Attorney in Virginia Beach
A wrongful death is any death resulting from misconduct by another person or company. Such tragic instances can be the result of auto, plane, or boat accidents, work-related accidents, medical errors, product malfunctions, prescription drug reactions, and other negligent acts. If a loved one has died due to someone else's negligence you need to contact a wrongful death attorney to discuss your options.
Wrongful death lawsuits can be placed into the following classifications:
- Fatal auto accident
- Hazardous work environment
- Defective product
- A criminal act
- Medical malpractice
Many times families may not realize that wrongful conduct is what caused that fatality. Obviously, those who are deceased cannot tell us the full story. For example, if a person is ejected from a vehicle during an automobile collision, the police report may show the victim as being unrestrained, causing the family to wonder why a loved one who always wore a seat belt didn't wear it that one time it was really needed. In reality, seat belts sometimes unlatch, and only a trained expert will be able to decide if the seat belt was worn in that particular collision. Wrongful deaths often go undiscovered unless there is a thorough investigation of all the underlying facts. Wrongful conduct may not be always obvious and may never be discovered unless a highly specialized attorney thoroughly investigates the incident.
