The Complexity of Wrongful Death Cases

By Mart Gil Abareta

A wrongful death refers to the untimely death of a person/s due to accidents, criminal activities, or other person’s negligence. Wrongful death cases are being filed by the surviving dependents of a wrongful death victim. In filing a wrongful death claim, there exists the so-called statute of limitations that sets a time frame on when to file a lawsuit prior to the incident. This means that even valid claims cannot be filed after this period ends.

Usually, wrongful death cases are hard to prove. They often take several years before they’re finally settled, and require expert and credible evidences and testimonies to establish the truth. The claimants are the ones who are responsible to prove the claim. Wrongful death attorneys only agree to handle a wrongful death case it they think it has a merit and find it to end up successfully. In most cases, the settlements range to millions of dollars.

In most cases, wrongful death claims are being filed against medical practitioners such as a doctor or an entire department of a hospital. They can also be made against the manufacturers of a defective product such as a motorcycle, automobile, mechanical or electrical device, and many others. In such instances, the case can also be addressed to the manufacturers of the parts of the product, wholesalers and even designers. In addition, wrongful death can also be job-related like in the case where safety precautions were not followed.

In the aforementioned grounds for a wrongful death claim, it is very important to present concrete evidences and comprehensive testimonies. Sometimes, defendants might offer the claimants huge amounts in out-of-court settlements to avoid damage to their reputation in the industry where they belong. If the claimants agree with this set-up, there is a less chance that a guilty verdict will be served against the defendant. However, this is not always the case because the facts of the case will already become public records.

Finally, if the survivors of a wrongful death victim are considering filing a wrongful death claim, they must search, either locally or online, for legal specialists or reputable law firms that have remarkable trial experiences in this area of law. Remember that winning a wrongful death case can also have other consequences to the defendants aside from paying a certain amount for the actual damages. In other cases, the merits of the lawsuit itself can also result to the filing of criminal charges against the defendants.
