Death Caused by Recklessness, Negligence, or a Wrongful Act
Though your grief may prevent you from taking action, hiring an attorney for your case can allow a professional to take action on your behalf. The NoVa wrongful death lawyers with Price Benowitz LLP will work relentlessly for the compensation our clients need and deserve.
A wrongful death is any death caused by another’s recklessness, carelessness, negligence, or wrongful act. Whether the death occurs immediately in a fatal accident or occurs sometime after the incident as a result of injuries sustained, the fact another’s actions contributed to the death of the individual gives spouses and surviving dependents the right to take legal action.
Wrongful death cases may result from car accidents (even involving alcohol), motorcycle accidents, trucking accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, premises liability accidents, and neck injuries.
