A high percentage of fatalities occur as a result of automobile
accidents which include accidents involving distracted driving, drunk
driving, aggressive driving, and pedestrian fatalities.

lawsuit based on facts indicating possible prescription errors,
emergency room errors, misdiagnosis, and so on.

5. Commercial truck accidents
The sheer weight and size of a commercial truck involved in an
accident can easily result in fatality. Many times, truckers and
trucking companies are at-fault for the accident.

6. Work related accidents
Many deaths occurring in the workplace as a result of company
negligence can be the basis of a wrongful death lawsuit. These may
include injuries as a result of unsafe work environment, fires,
explosions, improper training, and so on.

7. Product liability
The manufacturers, designers, distributors, and sellers of products
are encouraged to minimize the risk of harm from their products to
the public. A death occurring as a result of a faulty design or a
defective manufacturing processcould be the basis of a wrongful
death lawsuit.
